In a brand-new “Adopt a Sister” program in California, 11 Notre Dame High School Belmont students were matched with Sisters at the Belmont Province Center to explore and build new friendships.
Sabrina Harper, U.S. East-West vocations promoter, says the women will meet regularly during the school year to learn about each other’s lives.

“It is a way for students to see that the Sisters are leaders in their communities and within the Church,” she shares, “and to promote the charism of St.Julie and the legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.”
Students were gifted with a custom-designed journal to record their reflections on these topics. With smiles on their faces, students and Sisters enjoyed the meet-and-greet event in October, where a strong foundation toward friendship began. May our good God bless these new relationships.
