Let peace and justice flow: SSND living peace and nonviolence |
|
| |
|
| |
From the beginning of their founding in 1833 until the present, longing for the oneness of all in God motivates School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) to work to create peace and nonviolence in our world. From small acts of kindness to advocacy on critical issues, SSND have worked to create right relationships and stand up for the marginalized. Sisters Paul Mary Draxler and Lois Martens write of inspiring stories of SSND marching for civil rights, helping women escape abuse and poverty, advocating for nuclear disarmament and more. Learn more about the rich history of promoting nonviolence and reflect on how SSND carry forward this critical mission.

The history of Foundation Day |
|
| |
|
| |
October 24 marks the 190th anniversary of the founding of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND). On this day in 1833, Caroline Gerhardinger (later known as Blessed Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger) and two other women began living in community in Bavaria, Germany, planting the first seeds of the SSND congregation. While early celebrations of this milestone are unknown, we know the 25th anniversary was commemorated in 1858 and grand festivities were held for the 50th, 100th and 150th anniversaries. Today, Foundation Day is celebrated everywhere SSND gather as they remember their roots, give thanks for their blessings and recommit to their mission.
