Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur world wide celebrates her Foundation Day. The Congregation was established on February 2, 1804 by Saint Julie Billiart and Françoise Blin de Bourdon. The Sisters in Nigeria Province had a colourful celebration.
The goodness of God flows wherever we find ourselves is the focal point of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. It was a joyful celebration for the sisters as welcome three newest members, sisters Patience Egbhetse, Chidera Okonkwo Chukwu and Theresa Falola to the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as they made their First Vows. God is indeed good.
Parents of the newly professed handed over their daughters to the Congregation in joy and the sisters danced joyfully to God for calling them to serve God’s people in Notre Dame de Namur.

We are grateful to our good God for the successful Final Vows celebration of Sr. Theresa Dirisu, Silver Jubilee of Srs. Charity Otono, Ijeoma Uwakwe and Theresa Anikwata and Diamond Jubilee of Sr. Julie Ambrose. It was such a beautiful and memorable celebration! The bishop of Auchi Diocese, Gabriel Dunia who celebrated the mass; appreciated Chief Julie for all her hard work within and outside the diocese. The Bishop presented a cold coat and a big portrait of Sr. Julie showing her early years in Nigeria as a token of application.
