In honor of Women’s History Month and Catholic Sisters Week, we are proud to recognize Sister Deborah Cerullo, SSND, JD, of the School Sisters of Notre Dame.
Sister Deborah has dedicated her ministry to serving the Church with both intellectual depth and pastoral care. As a civil attorney and canon lawyer, she approaches complex legal and governance matters with clarity, patience, and a genuine concern for the religious communities she supports. Her counsel is not only informed, but deeply rooted in an understanding of religious life and its mission.
Through her years of teaching, writing, and consulting, Sister Deborah has helped form leaders and guide institutions with steady wisdom. Those who work with her know her thoughtful presence and her commitment to ensuring that faith and law work together in service of the Gospel.
Sister Deborah’s vocation reflects a beautiful integration of scholarship, service, and devotion. We are honored to recognize her leadership and the quiet yet profound impact she continues to make.
