The West Coast Legacy Hallmarks Retreat invites educators and staff who are new to Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur sponsored ministries to step away from the demands of daily work and immerse themselves in the mission, spirituality, and educational tradition of Notre Dame de Namur. Through presentations, reflection, prayer, dialogue, and community-building, participants will explore the life and vision of St. Julie Billiart, the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community, and the enduring values that shape our schools and ministries.
Set in a retreat environment, this three-day experience offers time to deepen relationships with colleagues from across the West Coast network, reflect on one's own vocation as an educator, and discover new ways to bring the Notre Dame de Namur mission to life in service to students, families, and the wider community. Participants will leave renewed in purpose, connected to a broader mission, and inspired to carry forward the legacy of St. Julie with hearts as wide as the world.
If you have any questions about the retreat, please reach out to Katie-Sue Scullin, Director of Mission Integration, U.S. East-West Province Sponsorship Office.
