Heavenly Father, through the intercession of the holiest and
ever Virgin Mary, bless our congregation, prostrate at your feet, praying to
you with all our hearts. Keep us from
all harm within and without so that we may serve you in peace and harmony
according to your holy pleasure. Trust and Dare, October 24; MT 2053
Foundation Day
The congregation of the School Sisters of Notre Dame came to life 193 years ago when God’s call found an answer in the hearts of people strong in faith, farseeing in vision, and courageous in action.
May their response to God's call continue to be our response.
