Spirituality

Chapel in Belmont

The spirituality of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur is characterized by the call to discover and become the very goodness of God in our world. We commit ourselves to deepen our relationships with:

  • God
  • One another
  • Those living in poverty
  • The whole of creation

We embrace our mission, seeking life in abundance for all.
