The Sisters of Notre Dame is an international congregation of more than 3,700 vowed women religious who have dedicated themselves to a lifestyle of prayer, community and service. As transformative educators responding to the urgent needs of the Earth and God's peoples, the Sisters educate with the conviction that the world can be changed by enabling persons to reach their potential. The Sisters minister within an international congregation which fosters a global vision and is committed to living the Gospel mission of Jesus. As women of hope, we seek to empower women, youth and persons who are poor or marginalized and strive to change systems of poverty and injustice.
