About us:

In 1961, four Sisters of Notre Dame from the Toledo province in the United States arrived in the Banz area of the Western Highlands in Papua New Guinea. They and those missionaries who followed after them came in a spirit of joy and trust to give witness to God’s caring love in this remote area. Since 1973 young women from Papua New Guinea have joined the Sisters of Notre Dame to continue to witness to God’s goodness in this beautiful land. Though the Church is still young in the highlands regions of Papua New Guinea, we hope to grow as a community to bring Jesus to more people in this land.
