“I have interacted with many Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. There was always wisdom, kindness, spiritual sharing and fun. There was encouragement and delight in the beauty of the day. We honor each other’s faith journey, and we see the goodness of God all around us.”
—Lydia Wahab, AND 35 Years

“Over my years as an Associate of Notre Dame de Namur, God has touched my heart in many ways. In 2023 and 2024, my experience in Phoenix with Sister Liane and Sister Meg was most meaningful. This experience gave us firsthand witness to the needs of our asylum-seeking brothers and sisters.”

—Libby Hagman, AND 20 Years
