"School Sisters of Notre Dame
hold as essential to our constitution, life and mission,
Jesus Christ,
who sent by the Father,
sends us in the power of the Spirit, to proclaim the gospel by our lives;
the church, which by its very nature, continues the presence and mission of Christ; the world, which is the  concrete situation in which we carry out Christ's mission; our charism, which gives focus to our life and mission."
   

"Blessed Mary Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger ...
grounded the congregation in Eucharist,
anchored it in poverty
and dedicated it to Mary . . ."

"St. Augustine . . .  a community of one heart . . ." "Blessed Alix LeClerc and
St. Peter Fourier
gave a
new direction  to religious life . . ."
"Bishop George Michael Wittman and Father Francis Sebastian Job . . . held Christian education for girls as . . . special concern."
                 
 

"Mother Caroline Friess . . .
through courageous leadership, to 
 . . . life on another continent . . . perceptively reading the signs of the times,
risking innovative response . . ."
