About us:
The province of Our Lady Aparecida, with its provincial center in Canoas, Rio
Grande do Sul, was created in 1962 as a second province of the Sisters of
Notre Dame in Brazil. The expansion of ministries and the increase of members,
in addition to long distances and difficulty of communication, made it necessary
to form this second province. Called to deepen the experience of the goodness
and provident love of God, we follow Jesus Christ and witness his way of
living and relating, sensitive to the suffering of our brothers and sisters,
to the hunger for the meaning of life and for the just sharing of the gifts
of creation.
