Through the generosity of many donors, the Sisters of Notre Dame were able to open the A-level at Notre Dame Academy in 2019. This program is similar to a 2-year junior college education in the United States. Early in 2021, the first students took the Advanced level (A-level) Uganda National Exams, with these remarkable results:
• The highest student average score in the Kibaale District
• The best performing student in the district
• 25% of the students received government sponsorship to attend university
• 5 students ranked in the district’s top 10, and were the only girls

DECEMBER
Through The Wolbring Legacy Society
With gratitude to Patricia Margaret Kennedy
The Sisters of Notre Dame offer their heartfelt gratitude to Pat Kennedy for her generous, unrestricted bequest. A former member of the congregation, Pat maintained her deep love for the spirit and mission of the community and her friendship with many of the sisters.
Pat became acquainted with the SNDs as a student at Notre Dame Academy High School in Los Angeles and upon her graduation, joined the community in 1965. Discerning that her call was to serve God as a lay person, Pat pursued her MBA at UCLA and was recruited into a successful career with IBM.
Her high school buddy, Sandy Hamers Pavick, remembers that Pat could brighten any day with her sharp Irish wit and humor. “She was a very caring and generous individual, and she brought a strong work ethic to public service in her local community. Pat was the kind of friend you could always count on, her thoughtfulness was priceless...”
Pat’s early retirement allowed her more time for her passions—friends, family, travel and winemaking. Ever the educator, she also found joy in teaching English as a Second Language at Our Lady of Refuge Parish in San Jose. Her students’ first languages were Spanish or Vietnamese, and at her celebration of life they shared their appreciation for her devotion and kindness.
Pat passed into eternity peacefully and unexpectedly in her San Jose home in July, 2018. Her Sisters of Notre Dame are committed to sharing her most cherished values with those entrusted to our care. Godspeed, dear friend!
Membership in the Wolbring Legacy Society is offered to those individuals who include the Sisters of Notre Dame in their estate plans. The only requirement is a written confirmation of the donor’s intent to make a planned gift. Membership may remain anonymous if the donor so chooses. We would be honored to welcome you into the Wolbring Legacy Society, giving us the chance to thank you personally. Please be assured of our prayerful good wishes, now and always.
