2020 in Review

School Sisters of Notre Dame Associates

The pandemic threw us for a loop in the spring, but then we found new ways to connect with each other, the sisters and those we serve. We invite you to watch this short video that highlights the past year.

The associates of the Central Pacific Province would like to share their 2020 highlights and statistics. Photo provided by Anne Carey, Director for Associates. Here are a few facts from the year:

315 associates
10 new associates
7 deaths
Associates gathered in 13 states, Guam and Japan.

We are grateful for the support of the sisters and staff throughout 2020!
