Rosa Mystica Province
Thousand Oaks, California, USA
First Sisters arrived in 1924
Established as a Province in 1961
In 1924 eleven 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 California province currently serve in Italy and East Africa. In 1995 two sisters from California, together with two sisters from the Kentucky province pioneered the Notre Dame mission in Uganda. Today the sisters from California continue to support the new East Africa Delegation with personnel and financial assistance.
