MORE empowers through literacy and diversity

During International Literacy Day, September 8, we celebrate the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) who have been educators for more than 185 years. Over the years, SSND continues to bring education and literacy to those in need through many different avenues. One such ministry is MORE, where sisters, staff and community members work to help low-income families, immigrants and refugees with English as a Second Language, financial sustainability, health services, and job searching.
