We are engaged in education, from pre-school to university, at all socio-economic levels, as teachers, administrators, and tutors. We strengthen our educational principles through teacher training and mentoring, concentrating on the education of the whole person: intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical.
Many of our sisters work in parish catechesis, sacramental preparation, and faith formation with children and adults, pastoral ministry with the sick and homebound, and outreach and education for social justice, especially for human dignity and preservation of earth’s resources.
Sisters help people grow in their relationship with God through retreat work and spiritual direction, ministry with youth and young adults, vocation ministry, and the Associate Program.
Sisters of Notre Dame serve in health care and administration, hospices, homes for children, and senior living facilities. They offer spiritual comfort and bereavement support, and provide mental health counseling.
In our commitment to justice, peace, and the integrity of creation, we provide education and outreach to assist migrant and refugee families, and individuals who are trafficked, homeless, and incarcerated.
