Pray With Us
We celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15. The School Sisters of Notre Dame are dedicated to Mary whose spirit is alive in the prayer, life and service of sisters, associates, staff, and volunteers. Please enjoy this resource for reflection and prayer.

at the expense of the poor and the earth.
