About
Notre Dame School traces its origin to its spiritual mother St. Julie Billiart of France, who founded the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1804. Her charismatic spirit of finding God’s goodness in everything was handed over to our own foundress, Sister Maria Aloysia Wolbring, who instituted the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Cosfeld, Germany, in 1850.
Urged by the charism of St. Julie and Sr. Aloysia, Notre Dame has established foundations throughout the world. The institution gives witness to God’s love by involvement in various educational, social and medical services in Germany, Italy, England, Holland, United States, South America, Indonesia, India, Korea, Paupa New Guinea, Africa and Philippines.
The first Notre Dame School in India was founded in Jamalpur, Bihar, in 1950. Today Notre Dame institutions are found in the states of Bihar, Jarkhand, Chattisgarh, Karnataka, West Bengal, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
