Catholic in the 21st Century

As we seek to authentically express our Catholic identity, we look to the future as well as the past. Ahead, we see a need to engage with the world around us in critical conversations and actions that promote justice and the goodness of God. Because of our rich history and tradition, we have the courage and the conviction to do this work.

The Hallmarks are the essential characteristics, values and activities shared by all Notre Dame de Namur learning communities.

1 We proclaim by our lives even more than by our words that God is good. We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person.

We commit ourselves to community service.

We embrace the gift of diversity.

We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve.

We develop holistic learning communities which educate for life.

Be like the sunflower that follows every movement of sun, and keep your eyes always turned towards our good God.”

What I like most about Notre Dame is the diversity because you get to explore and learn about so many different cultures, ethnicities and beliefs. Knowing there are a lot of people that share your same story gives you a sense of comfort and belonging.”
