Thanks to our 2024 Women’s Leadership Luncheon sponsors and attendees |
|
|
|
|
After months of planning and excitement, each of the long-awaited Women’s Leadership Luncheon events have now celebrated their successful completion. Though the events are over, the meaningful effect of shared conversations and connections remains.
Being able to offer events such as the Women’s Leadership Luncheon to our attendees for free is only possible due to the committed support of the individuals, organizations and businesses who recognize and celebrate the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) and women leaders. Sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, Ann Kampeter, Venue Sponsor, River City Casino & Hotel, and our $5,000 Sponsors; Bayer, Catholic Housing Initiative, Drury Hotels, Jim Butler Automotive Group, Mandel Group, Mercy, Midwest BankCentre, Mary Ellen Murphy, and Marianne and Roger Staubach. The impact of these luncheons extends far beyond a single day, and we are proud to recognize everyone who helped make each of these events a highlight on our spring calendar.

Catholic Schools Week provides opportunity for celebration and connection |
|
|
|
|
Sisters Susan Bunde and Margaret Ann Murawski enjoyed a full circle celebration of this year’s Catholic Schools Week. First by revisiting their role as educators as they connected with eager students, and second as recognized guests at a Mass led by Bishop William Callahan. While the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) have a 150-year presence in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Sisters Susan and Margaret Ann are the only two who are still in the area. From a lively Q&A session to the sharing of blessings during their visit with elementary students, the sisters provided important insight on what it means to live a religious life.
