School Sisters of Notre Dame

Atlantic-Midwest

Province

The Atlantic-Midwest Province consists of more than 550 sisters who minister in more than 30 dioceses across the country and around the world.

 

… we are sent to make Christ visible by our very being, by sharing our love, faith and hope.”

- Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger

How We Serve

Responding to the needs of ever-changing dynamics in our global society, today’s sisters in the Atlantic-Midwest Province bring the unity of Christ’s love to our broken world in a variety of ways. We have taught in elementary, secondary, and university classrooms, but we recognize that education of a whole person doesn’t stop when a person finishes formal schooling.

In the Classroom

Sisters in the province are teachers, administrators and volunteers at middle and high schools that are sponsored by the SSNDs as well as many parish grade schools.

In the Community

Education of the whole person means going beyond the classroom.  Our sisters serve in many places that assist the poor and unfortunate, helping them further their education, find a job, or provide nutritious food for themselves and their families.
