Celebrating 175 Years in New England


As we celebrate our 175th Anniversary in New England over the coming year, we reflect upon our history of ministry throughout the Boston Archdiocese and beyond. Since 1849, our Sisters have been a presence for good in the New England area, opening multiple schools and standing with those in the greatest need.

Sister Mary Johnson, SNDdeN, a member of our Congregational Leadership Team, reflects on the importance of our 175 year history in New England. Watch more of our Sisters' reflections in the Event Videos page below!
