Each new member brings to us the gift of herself, stimulates growth in us, and moves us more consciously into the future. We, in return, enrich her by the gift of ourselves, our living tradition and our spirituality. Together we continually discover the meaning of vocation. (YAS #44)
Here's what our newest members are saying:
Sandra, Dallas Province
 Sister Sandra celebrated her perpetual profession as a School Sister of Notre Dame on March 15, 2008. On the day of the ceremony, Sister Sandra reflected, "With God's unconditional love, and grace, I have been walking this Christian journey toward total communion with God. I still hear the Spirit's movement within me calling me to continue to live as a vowed member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The fire of God's love and my desire to be in God's will moves my heart, mind and soul. Simply put, church, my soul says, 'Yes.' I ask your support and acceptance for perpetual profession of my vows today." To see more photos from this joyous occasion, please click here.

Atlantic-Midwest Province
 "When I was in postulancy I
was inspired by the example I saw from other SSND's. They truly
lived Christ's mission
to and for one another. I wanted Jesus as the center of my life
and being inspired by other SSNDs I knew I was ready to take
the next step by becoming a novice. I look forward to a year of
growing relationship with God and with SSND."
Kathleen, Mankato
Province
 "In the years since first profession, I have learned that community life fosters the oneness in God that Christ proclaimed. Life in community helps you deepen your relationship with God. In community, you realize that we are all one with each other and with God. No one is an island. Community life allows us to be about the mission of Christ, which is to spread the good news of God’s love for all of us."
