Heritage Materials

The Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame came into being in Coesfeld, Germany in 1850. In 1849, two young teachers, Hilligonde Wolbring and Elisabeth Kühling, befriended orphaned and neglected children and took them into Hilligonde’s home where they educated and cared for them.  Hilligonde became Sister Maria Aloysia, and Elisabeth, Sister Maria Ignatia.

Mother Maria Chrysostoma Heck and foundress Sister Maria Aloysia Wolbring brought 8 sisters to teach in the parishes of Cleveland, Ohio in 1874.
