Join Us in Mission

The School Sisters of Notre Dame look to generosity of the greater community. When you make a financial contribution, participate in our social justice work or volunteer your time and talent, you join the sisters who teach in inner city schools, offer help and hope to those recently released from prison, coordinate and staff a food pantry for those in need, or minister to the sick and lonely in area hospitals.

Thank you for all you do and are for the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Together, with God’s help, we transform the world through education.
