The congregation of the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND)
was founded in 1833 by Blessed Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger
in Bavaria, Germany to provide education and spiritual formation for girls,
with special concern for poor girls. In 1847 Blessed Theresa accompanied the
first School Sisters of Notre Dame to the United States. Three years later,
Mother Caroline Friess was put in charge of the
congregation in North America. She opened a motherhouse in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
and from there traveled throughout the United States and Canada establishing
convents and schools. The sisters respond to varying needs of the church and
world through a diversity of ministries, such as education, administration,
spiritual, pastoral, social, legal and health services. About 3,200 of these
Sisters are ministering in the United States. The 678 School Sisters of Notre
Dame who are participating in the Nun Study are members of the congregation's
seven United States provinces: Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Mankato, (MN),
Milwaukee, St. Louis and Wilton (CT). Of interest to Milwaukee, WI., Milwaukee
