The Sisters of Notre Dame of California belong to an international congregation of more than two thousand Roman Catholic women religious.

Impelled by a missionary spirit, we respond to the needs of the times and share God’s compassionate love with people of all faiths and cultures, particularly those who are poor and marginalized.

Trusting in God who makes all things new, we commit ourselves to

Live incarnational spirituality

Grow in life-giving relationships

Be one in diversity.


Sponsored Institutions

Since our arrival in California in 1924, the Sisters of Notre Dame have founded and administered in more than 20 schools. Today our sponsored institutions reach students from preschool all the way through high school, and as far away as Uganda.
