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.

RIP
Condolences to the Ursuline community. May she Rest in Peace!
Condolences to all who loved her.
Many prayers. I felt privileged to know her.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord
I first met Sister when we studied Spanish together in the Dominican Republic in the summer of 1976. A truly dedicated woman of the Church
She was a great teacher and principal of AMSU
Did she teach at the College of New Rochelle?
Requiescat in Pace ✝️
May she rest in peace.
Very sad to hear this
May you forever rest in God's Grace
May she rest in peace.
Rest in peace my sister.
Rest in Peace
