Sunseed Eco-Education Ministries of the School Sisters of Notre Dame

 

Like a plant nurtured by the sun, the roots of Sunseed Eco-Education Ministries are deeply embedded in soil that nourishes. The charism of the School Sisters of Notre Dame empowers this spiritually based, education program rooted in the land. Our goal is to recognize in partnership with others that all has come from God, that all is sacred, that all is one.

 

As the desire of Jesus that all be one becomes more fully our own,
our striving for unity embraces all humanity
and the whole of creation.
You Are Sent, SSND Constitution, #9

Being faithful to the mission of Sunseed means that we live and teach the ongoing Universe Story. We believe in the continual unfolding of that story within every aspect of creation including the multiple situations of our individual lives. The Sacred is present in all that is. As indicated by our Mission Statement,

SUNSEED Eco-Education Ministries
are committed to transformative change
through holistic education
empowering humans to live on Earth
in a mutually enhancing way.

Sunseed offers opportunities for and with people of all ages, religions and backgrounds to visit our campuses, benefit from our program offerings, workshops, retreats, days of reflection, and prayer experiences.

We are in the process of developing other campuses similar to the Mount Calvary Sunseed Campus, original site of Sunseed Eco-Education Center. By expanding to other sites, we share this specific focus of our SSND charism:

Our mission is to proclaim the good news
as School Sisters of Notre Dame,
directing our entire lives toward that oneness
for which Jesus Christ was sent.
