About us:

The Sisters of Notre Dame of the Chardon province are consecrated women of prayer, rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, striving to live life deeply and fully in community and in ministry. We live this way of life, embracing the challenges, taking risks, living the mystery and inviting the future. Our province was founded in 1874 when sisters, including our foundress Sister Maria Aloysia, were first sent from Germany to begin a foundation in Cleveland, Ohio. Subsequently we pioneered foundations in California and India. Sisters from the Chardon province currently minister in the following states in the USA: California, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and Washington DC, as well as in Italy, Nicaragua, the Philippines, and Tanzania.
