Notre Dame High School, San Jose

As we reflect on this Easter season and begin our final grading period for this year, we pray — for our blessings and for relief. Spring invites new beginnings and fresh starts. In these last weeks of the academic year, may we be open to new opportunities and stay diligent in our studies. This month of April also marks the 175th Anniversary of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur arriving in California and the founding of our school. During our liturgy tomorrow, we celebrate St. Julie Billiart, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and all who have made our school what it is today.

Let us pray. As we celebrate the past and look forward to the future, we commemorate our school and everyone in it with pride. God of Goodness, help us embrace our strong foundation and the impact of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and celebrate 175 years of women's leadership. In the name of all that’s good and holy, Amen.
