'YM Gmfzfmie We7f Newer Fazlielfn have heen conscious of a singular blessing in having the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur as teachers for our four happy years at Moylan. Assisted hy their competent guidance and advice and their teaching of Catholic Doctrine, we are prepared hoth spiritually and socially for our future. With earnest hearts we thank the foundrcss of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Blessed Julie Billiart. In 1804, Blessed julie with three companions founded her community at Amiens, France. Cir' eumstances obliged her to move the motherhouse to Namur, Belgium. Though faced with many hard' ships, the Institute of Notre Dame gradually hut steadily spread to all parts of the world. Blessed Mere Julie established her congregation, primarily, to answer the need for religious education of European children, living in the atheistic age of the French Revolution Likewise, today, amid the atheism of the Red Terror, the Sisters of Notre Dame fulfill a similar purpose. They strengthen morals, form wills, and stamp the code of right living on the hearts of their students. Julie Billiart's daughters are continually meeting the need for religious instruction of youth in America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. There are more than one hundred and seventy houses and four thousand Sisters. Their apostolate is exercised in parochial schools for girls and hoys, in high schools, and in womens colleges. Now that we have tasted the solid training and understanding of the Sisters of Notre Dame, we can sincerely repeat the words of Blessed Mere Julie . . . How good is the good Godlii BARBARA CAL 'Si Sister Superior and Sister Florence Patricia admire the award from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge won by the school newspaper while President Joan Woods and Vice-president Mary Tracey read the words of the inscription: For outstanding achievement in bringing about a better understanding of the American Way of Life.
