About us:
In 1924 eight pioneer Sisters of Notre Dame came to Los Angeles, California
from Cleveland, Ohio. Since then, the Notre Dame charism has flourished through
the lives and ministries of the sisters of the California province. Like Southern California, the sisters represent a variety
of nationalities and cultures. This diversity is further reflected in our many ministries. We proclaim God's goodness through our lives,
using the unique talents of each sister and respond to the needs of the Church
and the world.
Reflecting the universal missionary spirit characteristic of the congregation,
sisters from the California province currently serve in Italy and Uganda. In 1995 two sisters from the California province, together with two
sisters
from the Kentucky province, pioneered the Notre Dame mission in Uganda. Just
as the California province developed through the outreach of the Chardon
province, the sisters hope to continue the Notre Dame heritage in Uganda for
many generations
to come.
