 We are born into life through WATER.
We reverence water as sacrament. Our daily lives allow us to appreciate water as gift. Our global connections enable us to understand the critical issues regarding water.
 Please Join with us to pray themes of WATER found in Scripture.

 African Mission History Now Available
Vineyards in a Far Country was commissioned by Sr. M. Sujita and the congregation. It relates the daily successes and challenges of the Sisters of Notre Dame as they inaugurated four missions in East Africa beginning in 1992. In text and photos the book captures the missionary spirit of the sisters who left their provinces in India, the US, Brazil, Indonesia and Germany to minister to people in remote areas of Tanzania, Mozambique, Uganda and Kenya.
Besides preserving precious history for the congregation, Vineyards aims to inspire volunteers and vocations. It can also serve to inform clergy and laity of the wonderful success of the missionaries in their ministry efforts, as well as to encourage interest in and contributions to the missions.

Joyful Simplicity(July 2006)
 Welcome to the Virtual Home of the Sisters of Notre Dame of Chardon Ohio.When St. Julie and our first Sisters began their ministry more than 150 years ago they proclaimed the goodness of God with the tools of their time. Today in the third millennium the Sisters of Notre Dame use the Internet to invite you to learn more about how God is good in our Congregation through our many sisters in many ministries. I welcome you in the name of Christ the King Province, and hope that what you find here on our web site will lead you to pray for us, and perhaps to consider learning more about a vocation with the Sisters of Notre Dame. And if God should move your hearts to do so, we would welcome your support. Your gift would be a blessing. --Sister Mary Cecilia Liberatore, SND, Provincial Superior
