Are you looking to connect or re-connect with one of our Sisters?  If so, this is the right place!

Search by Sisters’s name, and don’t worry if you don’t know her last name — this is searchable by first name.

Feel free to click the Get In Touch link to send a message a Sister.  If that Sister is deceased, but you want to make an inquiry, send an email to SSJNews@ssjerie.org. (Please note: messages sent to sisters via the website may not be private — please do not include personal or confidential information.)

 

Did you know that after Vatican II, many sisters returned to using their birth names rather than the religious names they were given when they entered the congregation? We’ve included current and former names to make your search easier. Just search by the name you remember.
