UPDATE on COVID-19 Information

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province, stand in solidarity with black women and men, particularly our staff at the health centers, in denouncing the killing of George Floyd. We mourn with all the members of the black community who have suffered unjust actions at the hands of law enforcement and other systems in our society.

The pandemic is touching all of us. Some of us have sequestered ourselves to the greatest degree possible away from others, yet still remain vulnerable. Some are on the frontlines vulnerable almost every waking minute. But no matter who we are, or our age, or where we live, we are all in a common moment, and so bound together in common cause such as we have not known for a long, long time.

A matter of months ago, mere weeks, Sister Nancy Wellmeier was in the thick of people. She was face to face with immigrants and asylum seekers, and shoulder to shoulder with people of faith putting their faith into action.
