Your gift helps to further our mission of ministry and to care for our elderly Sisters
The Ursuline Sisters of the Eastern Province are religious women in an international community who follow the vision and charism of our foundress, St. Angela Merici. We commit ourselves to the love of God and others through traditional and new ministries, solidarity with the poor, pursuit of justice, collaboration with the laity, and commitment to the Laudato Si’ platform.
