2026 ANNUAL REPORT

FALL 2026 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 1


ANNUAL REPORT FALL 2026 Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur change lives by making known God’s goodness. Throughout the world, we are committed to education. We take our stand with those made poor, especially women and children in the most abandoned places. Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province 701 E.

Dear Friend, Saint Julie Billiart asked her Sisters to teach children what they need to know for life. She meant more than lessons in a classroom. She meant faith that holds when life grows hard, confidence to stand up and be counted, and the knowledge that each of us is loved by a good God. This year, we have seen that charge answered repeatedly. At Our Lady of Tepeyac High School in Chicago, young women, many the first in their families to go to college, walk onto campuses already believing they belong there. At Chaminade Julienne High School in Dayton, the Cuvilly program, named for the French village where St. Julie grew up, has spent more than 25 years proving that a student who learns differently does not need to learn somewhere else. And in Folsom, California, students came to know Sister Dorothy Stang as a living witness and discovered that generosity and justice are things you practice, not just admire. St. Julie knew what it was like to be limited. She spent years unable to walk, and yet she never stopped teaching, guiding, and trusting in God. Perhaps that is why our ministries have always met people where they are. That same spirit guides the care of our own Sisters, women who once carried the mission to places around the world and who keep their independence with the help of our new call system. Educating for life is lifelong work. It asks us to openess, noticing each person's gifts, and responding to opportunities for growth. We are grateful to everyone who shares this work with us.

Dear Friend, Legacy is often thought of as something we leave behind at the end. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have taught us that legacy is something you build every day, one person at a time. St. Julie founded this congregation more than two centuries ago, and her vision still takes root in places she never saw. When Judy McLeod started the Cuvilly program at Dayton’s Chaminade Julienne High School in 1999, she was carrying St. Julie's belief that every child has unique gifts from God. Today her colleagues still ask, "What would Judy do?" In the Brazilian Amazon, Sister Dorothy Stang's witness lives on in students who were not yet born when she gave her life. That is what a legacy looks like—goodness that outlasts the person who planted it. The Sisters’ legacy is also yours. Every donor, volunteer, and friend in these pages has chosen to pass something forward. Your support helps a first-generation college student become a mentor to the next. It helps students learn that their gifts reach across the world. It honors the Sisters who taught generations by caring for them with dignity now. We are committed to stewarding this mission so it thrives for generations to come. We invite you to consider the legacy you hope to leave, and to make it part of this story.

The Press of a Button, the Gift of Freedom For decades, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have gone wherever they were needed. They ran schools, taught generations of students, and carried the congregation’s mission of education to ministries as far away as Kenya and Nigeria. Independence was part of the work. So when a Sister moves into the Health Center, the

down to the basement instead of up. No one wants to imagine a Sister lost down in the basement, or worse, hurt from a fall. “Now she simply has to press this button and hold it, and there’s a way to receive the help she needs,” Sister Mary Ann says. “Our nurses respond to the call.” The nurses feel the difference too. One told Sister Mary Ann she likes seeing the device attached to a Sister’s walker so it’s always within reach. “What a difference it makes,” Sister Mary Ann says. “This means so much.”

A VISIT WITH POPE LEO

This spring, Sister Thérèse DelGenio traveled to Rome to visit a dear friend and former student Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV. Joined by friends from Chicago, including Fr. John Merkelis, OSA, she saw Pope Leo twice. At the Wednesday papal audience in St. Peter's Square, the group climbed the stage stairs to embrace him. The next day, they shared lunch at the Curia with Augustinian seminarians. When Sr. Thérèse whispered that it felt surreal, Pope Leo tapped his heart and replied that waking up each morning as Pope is what’s truly surreal! Sr. Thérèse shared stories of SNDdeN ministry with poor and marginalized people, presenting handmade stoles from El Paso, a solidarity ring from Brazil, and more than 80 notes of support from Sisters, staff, and friends. He eagerly read them all in two days. When she asked how we can support him, his answer was simple: “Pray.”
