WOMEN OF FAITH, MAKING A DIFFERENCE

JUNE, 2020 NOTRE DAME SISTERS 3501 State Street, Omaha, NE 68112 (402) 455.2994 | NotreDameSisters.org

FOLLOW OUR JOURNEY. BELOW ARE UPDATES ON OUR WORK.

We raised more than $26,000 because of your commitment to our vision!

Thank you for this incredible outpouring of support during this year's Omaha Gives. With your help, we reached our goal and then some!

Each of us appreciates the difference this makes for the people we serve and each of our Sisters.

See Sister Stephanie Matcha play the Xylophone in support of our Omaha Gives Campaign on our Facebook page!

PRAY WITH US! Loving God, Source of all Creation, we praise and thank you for the life you give each of us.

Teach us to treasure this sacred trust.

In this difficult and challenging time for our world, we ask that you open our eyes to the needs of those around us, especially those who have no one to care for them.

Protect us from fear and anxiety that sometimes forces us to care only for ourselves and not others.

Help us to realize that all people are your special creations and help us to cherish and respect them and help us to respect our Mother Earth, our universal home.

Confirm in us our power to do good so that we are instruments of your peace in our troubled world.

Help us to bring about the peace you so desire for all humankind.

We pray all this with great trust, placing our lives in your hands. May Mary our Mother present our needs to your loving care now and always.

Amen.
