Fifty-two weeks a year, women religious quietly stand with the poor and immigrants, transform the world through education, fight injustice, heal the sick, share spirituality, empower women, defend the planet, promote peace, create communities, build unity and offer love and hope for all.
For one week each spring, we pause to reflect upon and thank sisters for their tireless efforts to bring hope and light to the world. During the week of March 8-14, 2024, we celebrate and share the spirit and witness of vowed women religious by recognizing the new world sisters work to create every day through community, ministry and service.
Women religious invite all to expand and support their gospel witness, grow the service networks they have seeded; share their spirituality, charisms, and community; encourage young women to consider a vocation to religious life; support their pastoral teaching and prophetic works and focus on the new world they call into being.
In observance of Catholic Sisters Week, School Sisters of Notre Dame will share five short videos featuring messages of thanks and gratitude from ministry partners, associates, students and friends of SSND. The videos will shine a light on the ministries and communities the sisters have shaped and the many lives they have touched.
Beginning March 8, you can view the videos by visiting the following SSND social media channels and webpage.
