But it should be Indigenous People's Day. Please read up on Columbus, he was not a hero to be celebrated. The Ursulines are highly educated, and yet, someone posted this.
Also Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Hello blessed daughters of God
Last 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖, the 𝐔𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 continued their weekend of Gratitude and Hope with a beautiful 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠. Ursuline Associates, former students, longtime friends, supporters, and those joining by livestream came together in celebration. The mass is a way for the Ursulines to honor cherished friendships and generous supporters.
Following Mass, guests gathered in the Angela Garden room for prayer, hors d'oeuvres, conversation, and fellowship. On a bright and sunny afternoon, the spirit of friendship, shared history, and joy was unmistakable.
The Ursulines are deeply grateful to all who play a meaningful role in carrying their mission forward. From the schools they founded, which continue to educate and inspire young women nearly 200 years later, to their Ursuline Associates, supporters, friends, and staff - all of you are an important part of the Ursuline story.

I’m so thankful for the education I got from the Ursuline nuns at Saint Jerome school and Mount Saint Ursula in the Bronx. I always remember them in my prayers. 
In celebration of the transition from the Eastern Province to the newly formed 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, the Sisters gathered on 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖 for a special day of 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞 - gratitude for all that has been and hope for all that lies ahead.
Together, they shared stories, celebrated the many ways they have served and grown as a Province, and reflected on their hopes for this new chapter. Through meaningful rituals, prayer, and reflection, they honored the journey that brought them here.
The day ended as it began, in community. Holding hands in a circle of gratitude, the Sisters offered a final prayer and blessing before their voices filled the Angela Garden room with the words of Jan Novotka’s “We Go Forth”:
“𝑾𝒆 𝒈𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆, 𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈. 𝑳𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒐, 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏, 𝒘𝒆 𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔!” ... See MoreSee Less
