Victory Noll is the motherhouse of Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters, a religious community of women dedicated to serving the poor in the name of Christ. Under the title "Our Lady of Victory," Mary is the congregation's patroness. Archbishop John Francis Noll, founding editor of Our Sunday Visitor in Huntington, Ind., a beloved friend and benefactor, provided much of the land and much of the needed funding.
The community was founded in 1922 by Father John Joseph Sigstein, a Chicago priest. The first members began their missionary service in New Mexico, and soon their service spread to the southwestern states. For this reason, Spanish Mission-style was chosen for the buildings at Victory Noll.
Through the collaboration of Archbishop Noll and a sizeable donation by Julia and Peter O'Donnell, a retired policeman from Chicago, plans were made and ground broken in September, 1923 for the first building at Victory Noll. The main building was dedicated by Archbishop Noll on July 4, 1925.
From this central house Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters minister in 34 mission centers in the United States Victory Noll was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

+ Proclaiming the Gospel + Working for Justice + Empowering the Laity
We want to minister to the culturally diverse Catholic population of this country, proclaiming Jesus Christ through evangelization, education and/or Christian formation. We would like to offer a solid Catholic teaching and ministries that speak to the needs of the faith communities, empowering the Laity, dedicating our prayer and ministry to the proclamation of God's Kingdom.
That is why we have become part of a network of religious communities collaborating to assist home mission dioceses in their efforts to develop lay leadership and ministry. This is an initiative of the Home Missions Leadership Conference and the Congar Institute for Ministry Development. READ MORE
