In this Jubilee Year of 2025 and united with the Church in celebrating this time of grace, we rejoice in a
special way as we mark the 175th Anniversary of the founding of our Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame. Throughout this journey, we have remained committed to sharing the Charism that unites us with the world: a profound experience of God’s goodness and provident care. Inspired by this charism, we embrace our identity as true “Pilgrims of Gratitude and Hope.”
To inaugurate this Anniversary Year, each community in the Holy Cross Province organized simple yet meaningful moments of prayer and symbolic gestures that express our faith and communion. The anniversary T-shirts emblazoned with our special logo, serve as more than a symbol—they represent the unity and connections that bind us together as Congregation and remind us we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, who inspires and impels us to move forward with imaginative hope, we lift our hearts in praise and gratitude. We prayed, shared, remembered, and rejoiced! We are deeply grateful to all who join us in exalting the goodness of the good God!
With unwavering confidence in the future, we renewed our commitment to the mission entrusted to us. Imaginative hope propels us to continue celebrating, evangelizing, and strengthening our missionary spirit and intercultural unity. Through every gesture and every prayer, as well as sharing in a variety of culinary traditions, we reaffirm our journey of faith and gratitude.
