Gratitude for 10 years
Central Pacific Province
2011 - 2021
The School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) Central Pacific (CP) Province are excited to celebrate the 10th Anniversary as a unified province.
The former Dallas, Milwaukee, Mankato (Minnesota) and St. Louis Provinces became one on June 12, 2011. After a few years of discernment and prayerful consideration, the Region of Japan joined the CP Province. The 10th Anniversary has brought forward many incredible stories, prayers, reflections and songs, which are accessible below on this resource page.
