THESE ARE THE STORIES OF Faith in Action.

We are a group of consecrated Catholic women dedicated to serving God, each other, and our world.
Through our service and ministries, we strive to meet the unmet needs of those in our community and throughout the world. As we continue to respond to the call of Christ as women of faith and prayer, we commit ourselves to building a global Christian community in joyful, loving service to others.

In March, our friends, loved ones, and supporters near and far will gather online to show their support for our Notre Dame Sisters community and our ministries.
Join us for a gathering we look forward to every year, and help us feel your presence of spirit as we remain socially distant and safe.
