I met the School Sisters of Notre Dame while I was a student at Regis College. I entered the congregation in 1990. I have been a high school campus minister and now serve as vocation director in the Wilton center of our Atlantic-Midwest Province.

My ties go back to grade school where I was taught by School Sisters of Notre. That relationship was later deepened when one of my older sisters became an SSND. The witness of these women gave me courage and strength to risk all and to ask the important questions on my own faith journey.

Being an SSND has challenged me to develop and share my gifts and talents with others in ministry as an educator. Sharing with one another as sisters in community supports me in living my commitment as an SSND. I'd be happy to help you discern whether God may be calling you to life as a member of our SSND community.

It's not what the sisters did so much as who they were - happy generous women - that first attracted me to the School Sisters of Notre Dame. And it's living my life in relationship with these women and for the sake of others that continues to call me.

Life can be very puzzling, true? You just never know where you will go when you allow God to give you some clues. As ambivalent as life can be I found (and still find) many clues that led me to make decisions that met my heart’s desire. Being with SSND has created a beautiful picture in my puzzle of life! You want to know more? Give a call or write a note.
