Sisters Ancilla Roussel and Lorraine Landry hang their reflections on a tree at A Celebration of Gratitude and Farewell to 145 Years of SSND Presence in Chatawa, Mississippi, in September 2019.

Past, present and future of St. Mary of the Pines

The School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) Central Pacific Province are in the process of moving from St. Mary of the Pines in Chatawa, Mississippi, to St. Anthony’s Gardens in Covington, Louisiana. St. Mary of the Pines will have been in operation for 146 years once the transition is complete later this year. That’s 146 years worth of stories and memories to share. “Hopefully, the goodness and peace experienced here have been carried to others in an ever-widening circle,” says Sister Lorraine Landry.
