THE SISTERS OF NOTRE DAME (OF NAMUR) 

The Sisters of Notre Dame are a group of religious women whose main aim is to contribute to the advancement of Roman Catholic religion by involvement in education, broadly conceived. This they do by formation of the young, various voluntary ministries, and support for educational and catechetical programmes and institutions. They are committed to the care of their aged, sick and infirm sisters.
