| Jubilee 2021: faithful to our calling |
|
Join the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) in honoring the 2021 Jubilarians. As the SSND constitution You Are Sent states, “Jubilees are cause for special celebration and provide opportunity for renewal and recommitment. Jubilee calls us to express our gratitude to God and to our Jubilarian sisters for their faithful love, which encourages us to greater fidelity.” Sister Debra Sciano, provincial leader, shares a reflection on Jubilee as she celebrates her 40 years since first profession. Sister Debra states, “We are each called to renew our vows, not only to commemorate a significant anniversary, but also on an annual basis. That renewal of vows is, for me, a chance to reevaluate my life and try to recall why I was called to be an SSND.”

| Prioritizing Care of Creation |
|
The School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) hold Care of Creation as a main focus in their drive to live out their mission. This focus is accomplished in a variety of ways. One way is providing education around Care of Creation. The 2021 Virtual Women’s Leadership Luncheons will provide the opportunity to educate women on Care of Creation and how prominent women are protecting the Earth in their community. Another way to focus on Care of Creation is putting into practice some of the key points in caring for the Earth, such as a community garden located on the Mount Mary University campus.

| What’s in a name? |
|
The process of women religious receiving a new name with the profession of final vows started as early as the sixth century. Naming customs varied between religious congregations; some congregations allowed a woman to choose her name. While in other cases, someone in authority chose the name. For the School Sisters of Notre Dame, initially a woman’s religious name was chosen by the provincial leader or the commissary general with no input from the woman herself. Michele Levandoski, archivist for the School Sisters of Notre Dame North American Archives, shares the history behind the sister’s name.
