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.

On Wednesday, October 28, Representative George Latimer held a talk at the Wartburg Senior Living Community on national issues, with a particular focus on immigration concerns in the United States. After the talk, Sr. Maureen Welch, OSU along with other members of Wartburg continued the conversation.
Sponsored by Wartburg’s Pray, Learn, Act group, the gathering brought together approximately 40 residents for an engaging conversation about these important issues. The event concluded with participants signing postcards addressed to Governor Kathy Hochul and three members of the New York State Legislature.
Many of our Ursuline Sisters reside at Wartburg in Mount Vernon, NY, where they remain actively engaged in the issues affecting our communities and our world.

Yesterday, we installed a commemorative plaque beside the Forest Pansy redbud tree to mark the Eastern Province’s transition into the newly formed Ursulines of the Roman Union, USA Region. The tree and plaque honor the Eastern Province's rich history and legacy while celebrating the promise of this new chapter. Srs. Pat Schifini and Ann Peterson paused to offer a prayer and blessing. Symbolizing renewal, hope, resilience, and love, the redbud tree fits as a reminder of the Ursuline roots and the new possibilities ahead. Together, we continue to grow in faith, unity, and mission. ... See MoreSee Less

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!
