The Sisters of Notre Dame share in the special gifts of the Holy Spirit given to St. Julie Billiart for the church and all humankind. We recognize this charism as a deep experience of God's goodness and provident care, leading us to turn to God our good Father and impelling us to proclaim his goodness to others in apostolic service.
