Before finishing her internship at the Congregational Mission Office in Ipswich, MA, Sister Kumiko Azuma, SNDdeN spent a week in Ohio. In Japan, Sister Kumiko teaches at Notre Dame Seishin Schools in Okayama.

“Go Make a Difference…You Can Make a Difference …” a line from a familiar hymn
Maybe that is Dorothy’s message to us 18 years after her death. We do not want to be active in the destruction of the beautiful forest which serves as the lungs of our Earth. We do not want to cause the deadly heating of our beloved planet. We do not to be involved in the poisoning of our oceans, the polluting of our air and water. We do not want to have any responsibility for the hundreds of thousands of refugees just looking for a place to live. We do not want to be responsible for “letting it happen.” But we are. This is our Earth, our gift from God to love and care for.
To celebrate Catholic Schools Week, we invite you to learn more about Sister Rita Sturwold, SNDdeN. She has a wealth of experience working as a teacher and administrator, and currently has several roles with our schools in Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio.
