These dreamers envisioned a structure that served in a circular highly participative model. They desired to fashion a new Province by creating structures as they were needed. These would become clear as the Sisters lived into a different manner of governance. It was important that the gifts, skills and talents of each member be recognized and utilized.

The canonical process of becoming SND Base Communities began fifteen years prior to its founding. During those years several groups of Sisters began to explore ways to challenge militarism, racism and the subjection of women in the Church. It was a time of exploration and experimentation in many areas of religious life. SND Base Communities\u2019 process culminated in a formal letter of approval from the General Government Group (GGG) dated September 26, 1989, to establish a new Province in the Congregation.<\/p>\n
Over the years, seventy-nine Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have become members of SND Base Communities. The original fifty-three members have been joined by twenty-six others. The Unit is geographically diverse. Its members live in thirteen states and the District of Columbia. We are spread across the United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic, from New England to the South Atlantic, and by members who minister in Brazil and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n
The structure of our circular style of governance is formed by three Networks. The Communications Network addresses both internal and external communication. The Economic Network works with the many dimensions of finance and the Life Care Network addresses our aging and health care needs. The Networks perform the administrative tasks that fulfill our responsibilities to the Congregation, to the Unit, to each other and to Civil Society. Several committees exist to address short term needs. Policy decisions are decided by the Unit at the Annual Gathering.<\/p>\n
