On Sunday, November 10th, the Sisters of Notre Dame hosted a special Mass at Gesu Catholic Church in Toledo, Ohio, to celebrate their 150th anniversary in the United States. The gathering brought together sisters, associates, friends, employees and parishioners for a joyful celebration complete with a beautiful liturgy and a reception afterward.
Father Jeffery Walker, pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Delphos, Ohio, presided over the Mass. His presence was especially meaningful as Sister Maria Aloysia Wolbring, the founder of the Sisters of Notre Dame, ministered at St. John’s during her time in the United States.
The event was a wonderful opportunity to honor SND’s rich history and the continued impact on the community.
