Sisters of Notre Dame


Notre Dame sisters - full name of the Congregation of the Sisters of the School of Notre Dame (Latin Congregation of the Pauperum Sororum Scholarium de Notre Dame) Political and religious conditions after the Enlightenment and the French Revolution have prompted Blessed Mary Teresa of Jesus and his two companions to set up in 1833 the Congregation of the Sisters of the School of Notre Dame in Neunburg, Bavaria.

The purpose of the gathering was to build the Christian family framework by educating the girls.

Pope Pius IX ratified the Constitution of the Poor School Sisters of Notre Dame in 1865.

The first Polish congregation houses were established in Galicia, Silesia and Zaolzie, and in the present borders of Poland the activities of the sisters date back to 1851. At present there are 18 houses of the Congregation of the Poor Sisters of the Mother of God in the Polish province.

Today, the main direction of action is to respond to the needs of people by teaching and educating especially abandoned and marginalized people. The mission of sharing faith and reconciliation is based on the conviction of the inspiring force of the Eucharist.

The sisters are also involved in the Shalom campaign, which aims, among other things, to stigmatize and oppose injustice, to influence the mass media, to teach and educate for the liberation of nations, to act for local and global needs.

During the 22 general chapters, the new General Administration for the years 2008 - 2013 was composed of:

and the general council: - Sister Carol Jean Dust (SL) - Sister Dominica Michalke (BY) - sister of M. Irena Książak (PO) - Sister Katherine DuVal (MK) - Sister Marcela Rockenbach (PA) - Sister Maureen McGoey (CA) Internet sources
