CONGREGATION OF NOTRE DAME (CND)
The Congregation of Notre Dame is an international community founded by St. Marguerite Bourgeoys. Its members and associates seek to live a mission of liberating education in the spirit of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The sacred Mystery of Mary’s journey to her cousin Elizabeth in Visitation is inspiration for the community. So too is the life of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, who first gathered the CND in late 17th century Montreal. The Congregation is committed to the needs of the poor, excluded, and oppressed. It labors actively to protect all creation and works toward the transformation of church and society for a more just world.
