Foundresses Week

Lunch with the Sisters

This past week, Notre Dame de Namur University celebrated its Foundresses Week. Throughout this week, NDNU held different events to involve its students in this celebration. One of the events I attended this week was lunch with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. At this event, I was able to meet Sister Rosanne Murphy. Meeting Sister Rosanne was something I found pretty exciting because last semester we read her book, Martyr of the Amazon. Sister Rosanne sat next to me and began to ask me about my life. Genuinely intrigued to learn more about her, I asked Sister Rosanne about her life as a Sister of Notre Dame. We continued to talk throughout the lunch without realizing how much time had gone by. We got up to grab lunch and Sister Rosanne began to joke about how she finally felt like she was at normal height because I was so tall. Towards the end of the lunch, the sisters performed a song in three different languages. It was so beautiful seeing all the Sisters perform a song which was able to bring the entire room together in unity.
