How do I know
God is calling me?
by Sister Marie Regine Redig

Welcome

The School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) is an international community of women who have positively influenced the lives of millions since our 1833 founding by Mother Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger in Bavaria, Germany. We have been in Wisconsin since 1850, when Mother Caroline Friess was put in charge of the North American Missions and established our motherhouse in Milwaukee.

Today, while many of us are teachers, we don't all work in the classroom. Our mission is to educate others in all we do while spreading Jesus' message of love and unity throughout the world. We are facilitators of change and personal transformation especially to those who are poor. We invite you to partner with us in our mission.

A delegation from the School Sisters of Notre Dame, including students from Mount Mary College attended the 52nd session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) from February 25 to March 7 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
