Founded on St. Julie Billiart's belief in the goodness of God, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur bring to their lives and work a respect for the goodness and dignity of each person and a care for justice for all.

Retired Sisters tutor in elementary schools, teach English as a Second Language, take Eurcharist to nearby care facilities and, above all, pray.  They never retire from their vocation of service and prayer!

The Sisters of Notre Dame sponsor Notre Dame de Namur University, Notre Dame High School, Elementary School and Early Learning Center all in Belmont. They also sponsor Notre Dame High School, San Jose, and Moreland Notre Dame Academy, Watsonville, and co-sponsor Cristo Rey High School in Sacramento.

The California Province, in ministry on the West Coast since 1844, is part of the international congregation of Notre Dame de Namur, founded in France in 1804 by St. Julie Billiart.
