Our Sisters

School Sisters of Notre Dame continue to live the vision of Foundress Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger in a variety of ways. Below our Sisters share stories of their work and ministry.

We go forth daily in the spirit of Mother Theresa, remembering her words: "Poor and abandoned, we began the work of God in supernatural faith and confidence... let us continue to serve the Triune God all our Lives with Joy."

Sisters in the News

Birthdays are special — a celebration of new life, marking a new year of experiences and adventures. All the trappings of birthdays bring joy; a cake with little candles aflame, ready to blow out with a big puff of air; cards, gifts, singing, and sharing a meal with friends with whom one celebrates...
Enjoy Sister Delia Callis' beautiful Easter poem: "I wait with Mary in stillness, peace and hope/I wait with her for hard lifeless seeds to sprout, be nourished, grow to fullness,/bearing fruit a hundred-fold."
On the fifth of May, SSND Waterdown had a Fiesta to celebrate Cinco De Mayo! With homemade sombreros, maracas, and pinatas, the party was a blast! It was a fun day, with lots of colours, music, and friends.
