SSND Global Education Commission

A Commission for Our Times

“The multicultural commission charged to give life to our educational vision for these times.”

We Are Educators in All We Are and Do

Education in the spirit of Blessed Theresa, focused on human development and environmental sustainability, is critical for the transformation of our world.

We, the members of the 25^th General Chapter, authorize the general council to establish a global education commission that will give life to our educational vision for these times. This multicultural commission will, as possible,

create a document grounded in You Are Sent that outlines the educational vision of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and articulates a contemporary approach to education for transformation.

suggest methods and practices by which to share our educational vision with our associates, colleagues, and co-workers preparing them for leadership in our educational ministries.

plan for educational conferences that ignite our passion, provide formation in our educational vision, and suggest strategies for transformative education that address the cries of God’s people and Earth.

develop an SSND global education network that links our educational ministries, fosters shared vision, and builds community across the congregation and beyond.

It is through our ministry directed toward education that we build communion. What we did in the past as provinces and regions, we must now do as one intercultural faith community.
