Mission of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame
Rooted in Jesus Christ, in love, compassion and contemplative dialogue, we, sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame and associates, dare to go further to humanize our relationships and to allow ourselves to be transformed.
We are committed to:
- Intentionally live and deepen interculturality and intergenerationality.
- Honour, respect and protect our common home, through concrete actions, motivated by an integral ecological awareness.
- Intensify our prophetic presence at the peripheries, especially where there are people affected by systems that create exclusion and marginalization.
God calls on us to listen to the cries of our wounded world. In the spirit of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, we respond with fierce hope and prophetic action, in mutuality and collaboration. Together for the Life of the World…!
Social Justice
The goal of the Network is carried out in a spirit of collaboration, where each sister or associate is called on to live closer to the reality of the impoverished, excluded and oppressed, and, in solidarity with them, to participate in the transformation of society for a more just and humane world.
