Rooted in baptism and enlivened by the charism of Julie Billiart and Francoise Blin de Bourdon, Associates are women and men who respond to God's call to a special relationship with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

Continuing a strong educational tradition, Associates and Sisters work together to create justice and peace for all, especially poor women and children.

Through prayer, relationships and ministries, Associates commit themselves to express in our time, as Julie did in hers, that God is good.
