Mount Mary University and SSND charism

Mount Mary University (MMU) in Milwaukee is a long-standing ministry of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND). The school was founded in 1872. While the school was once operated by SSND it is now a sponsored ministry, where SSND maintains a dynamic relationship. Though the times have changed, MMU still lives the SSND charism. The president of MMU, Dr. Christine Pharr, acknowledges the deep history SSND has with MMU, “I believe that Blessed Theresa and Mother Caroline are there supporting us, they believed in what we’re doing and I want to make sure we continue the charism they began.”

My prayer is that God may be born again in us throughout every day of our lives, and may Christmas remind us of that reality and give us cause for special celebration.”
