Moving Toward a Just Society
Our JPIC ministry promotes advocacy efforts for Sisters, Associates and friends of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The JPIC Office shares weekly updates on current social justice issues and provides regular opportunities for members to meet with their elected representatives.
In the spirit of St. Julie, our central mission is to educate and empower women and girls for social change. Our schools encourage active engagement in Catholic Social Teaching through the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame Learning Community (LINK). Both charity and social justice are central to our work in sharing God’s goodness.
