First SND foundation established here in 1840<\/strong><\/p>\n The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to the United States from Namur, Belgium in 1840 to do the work which their foundress, St. Julie Billiart, regarded as “the most important work on earth.”\u00a0 The Sisters came to teach.\u00a0 At the request of Archbishop John Purcell, eight Sisters established a school for girls in Cincinnati. This school and convent soon became the focal point from which new parish schools and academies were founded, reaching out to other areas of Ohio and eventually to Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland and the entire East Coast.<\/p>\n In 1844, six Belgian Sisters of Notre Dame, with a band of Jesuit priests, left Antwerp by ship for a long and treacherous journey around the Cape Horn en route to their destination on the Oregon territories.

Hardly had their ministry of outreach begun when an enormous earthquake in January 2010 racked serious devastation, causing thousands of deaths and injuries in an already tragic situation. \u00a0Earthquake aftershocks and tornadoes brought more pain, squalor, destruction, injury and thousands of deaths.\u00a0 Many left without homes, food, and water became refugees in Les Cayes. \u00a0This natural disaster delayed somewhat SND dreams for a family education center in Haiti. \u00a0The ministry to the people centered on providing food, clothing and medical assistance, as well as an action plan for human development and literacy in the city.<\/p>\n Les Cayes in South Haiti has 140,000 people. La Savane is one of the city\u2019s 12 slums, where adults and children suffer from hunger, malnutrition, diseases and homelessness. The literacy rate especially among women is very low; about 80% of women neither read nor write. Most children do not go to school. Even where there are schools, parents do not have money to pay for the tuition or uniforms.<\/p>\n SNDs are responding with mind and heart in a participative program for 100 women at the Family Education Center, reaching another 522 people in the households of these women. These extended families benefit from food assistance, health care and dental aid for their children at the Centre.\u00a0 The Sisters and Associates, who offer short-term service in Les Cayes, provide tutoring in English for young people of high-school age. Above all, Notre Dame is working to build a refuge from the storms, poverty, corruption and their moral effects in Haitian society. The work of recovery continues.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In 1844, six Belgian sisters left Antwerp for a long and treacherous journey establishing ministries in the Oregon territories and then to California.<\/p>\n Today there are three Provinces in the United States- Ohio Province, East-West Province and the SND Base Communities Province serving in education, social services, health care, Justice and Peace Ministries, law and pastoral care in the East, West, Midwest, South and Southwest.<\/p>\n Base Communities<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to the United States from Namur, Belgium in 1840 First SND foundation established here in 1840 The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to the United States from Namur, Belgium in 1840 to do the work which their foundress, St. Julie Billiart, regarded as “the most important work on earth.”\u00a0 The Sisters came to teach.\u00a0 At the request of Archbishop John Purcell, eight Sisters established a school for girls in Cincinnati.
