School Sisters of Notre Dame

Choosing community, celebrating faith

Who We Are

The School Sisters of Notre Dame are vowed members of an international congregation within the Catholic Church, serving God's people on five continents.

As women of hope, we follow Jesus Christ striving for unity among people. We are called to transform the world by making Christ visibly present through our ministry as educators. We are called to transcend ourselves and be deeply inserted into our world in order to be more for others.

For us, education means empowering people, especially those who are poor, women and children, to reach their full potential as individuals created in God's image. We are passionate in our ministry of education as teachers, missionaries, justice and peace advocates, social and parish workers.

We are agents of justice, peace, and integrity of creation as we work toward systemic change.

Being a School Sister of Notre Dame is not just a way to minister, but a way of life. Integrated into our ministry is our call to live community. Community life is more than just living together; it is a giving and receiving of support, love and acceptance. Through our prayer, dialogue, and ministry, we become a community of one mind and one heart.
