The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are women with hearts as wide as the world. Following the call of Jesus as he reveals himself in the gospels, we live simply and joyously in the footsteps of St. Julie Billiart, our founder. We place a special emphasis on education, especially for women and children, who are poor and ministering where others may not choose to go. We strive to listen faithfully to the challenge and invitation of the Spirit as we move into the 21st century, there to meet the needs of God's people still awaiting us.
