Many cultures and much diversity characterize the Sisters of Notre Dame. As women disciples of Jesus Christ, we have come to value this variety as a blessing that continues to unfold with the mission of our congregation in the 21st century. Exposure to diverse cultures and peoples at home and abroad, different ways of living and praying together, myriad approaches to God and increased sensitivity to Jesus’ special love for poor and marginalized people have been some of the benefits of our internationality and diversity. For us, making known the Good News of Jesus has limitless possibilities!
In 1947 we established the international center of our congregation in Rome, Italy, the heart of the Catholic Church. The congregation is divided into geographic regions known as provinces/delegations. From our home provinces/delegations we are missioned. United as sisters, we minister together, enriched by our diversity of geography, language, and customs.
The Sisters of Notre Dame (also known as Sisters of Our Lady in England) are located in many places around the world. Click on an area of interest to take you to a listing of our main centers for each country with links to those pages.
