Following the visit of the Congregational Leadership of the Sisters of Notre Dame last week, we asked students to reflect on their time with the Sisters.

During their visit, the team were very keen to meet with students but our students were equally keen to find out more about our visitors! Students decided that an informal Q&A session would be a great way to learn about the lives of our guests who have not only been on a fascinating spiritual journey but also live and work in fascinating places across the world!

The session helped our students to get a real feeling of just how big and wide the Notre Dame global community is, and you can read some of their thoughts below:

“I spoke to Sr Miriam. She is from Peru and wanted to be a Sister when she was 18. It was interesting.”

“It was nice as I was able to talk to a Sister of Notre Dame and I asked questions and was inspired to follow my dreams after speaking to them about how they became a Sister. I also got the chance to talk about my time at St Julie’s.”

“It was nice to talk to a Sister of Notre Dame from Nigeria and to learn about her. She was VERY nice!”

“I enjoyed the inspiration of chasing our dreams and learning about her life.”

“I liked it because I learnt new things abut Sister Miriam. I learnt that Sisters can come from all over the world. The experience was amazing as I interacted with someone from Peru.”

“I enjoyed it because I learned how they live and how they travel to different schools. I was interested by the group of women who came to school to meet us came from all different continents.”
