School Sisters of Notre Dame

Taking action, inviting participation

Good Counsel Girls' Academy was part of the Mankato educational tradition from 1912 until it closed in 1980. To this day, the Academy maintains an active Alumnae Association. The Association holds monthly Alumnae Mass in Our Lady of Good Counsel Chapel, annual Homecoming gatherings, and produces a biannual newsletter called ReEchoes(PDF). See our events for other opportunities to become involved. For more information contact Jeanne Osdoba Kelly.


Alumnae Award

Alumnae Award nominations are due by December 31 st. Do you have a classmate that has shown a significant contribution to her family, church, community, chosen profession or promoting Catholic education? Would you like to honor her and all of her accomplishments at Homecoming in the Spring? Please contact the Alumnae Office.


Networking Directory

The Alumnae are invited to participate in the Networking Directory to advertise their products and services with fellow Alums. We hope you will take advantage of the directory when you are looking for a service. To add your business click here.


Looking for a Friend?

If you are a Good Counsel Alumnae who has lost touch with a former classmate or teacher, please contact Jeanne Osdoba Kelly '75, Good Counsel Academy alumnae coordinator.

Opportunity to Give Back

If you had Notre Dame Sisters as your teachers you may be thinking, "I want to give back because of everything the sisters gave to me. How can I help?"


Your donation, of cash or securities, or a bequest in your will, helps the sisters' ministries, especially that of serving the women and youth who are poor. It enables the sisters to spread the Word of God, and allows the retired sisters, who have dedicated their lives to others, to spend their remaining years in comfort. For more information on donating to the School Sisters of Notre Dame, visit our donation page or call 507-389-4213.
