Meet Sister Bárbara Gutiérrez SNDdeN

After Sister Barbara finished this video, I asked her what prompted her to create it. We hope you will find our ministry story fascinating, too. –Sister Angele SNDdeN

When I began my discernment, I had no idea who the Sisters of Notre Dame were. During my discerning journey I worked with three different congregations.  It took me four years before I could say YES to God. When I finally said yes, I knew I will follow God as a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur.

During my discerning I was amazed every time I learn about the Sisters’ ministries. It took me years to learn what they do in Brazil, Nigeria, Congo, Arizona, at the United Nations as a NGO, etc. I made this video because I want others learn about our work. Although the video shows only a few ministries, I believe it gives the idea that the sisters work around the world serving very diverse groups. I think it shows how the sisters have extended and change their ministries to address the needs of our people in our time. Every time I see the video I feel proud and honor to be among them.
