About us:
Since the first five Sisters of Notre Dame arrived in Indonesia from the
Netherlands in 1934, the community has grown to include places of ministry
in Pekalongan, Banjarmasin-Kalimantan, Denggung, Jakarta, Kupang, Lasem, Mejasem,
Purbalingga, Rembang, Ruteng-Flores, Sukorejo and Tawangmangu. The first ministry
of the sisters was a hospital for the poor. In 1935 they opened a school where
they could teach children of various backgrounds including Chinese, Javanese
and Muslims. In 2000, sisters from Indonesia began ministry in the Philippines.

- Catechesis
- Communications
- Education
- Empowering agricultural workers
