A Moment for Mission

Let it also be recalled that each one be diligent in prayer, mental as well as vocal.

St. Angela Merici-Primitive Rule

A Note from the President

Hello -  Thanks to all who joined us for Back-to-School Night. While it’s a little bit different than what happens during the day (!), I hope you got a good feel for your daughters’ UA life. 


More on the transfer of sponsorship from the Sisters to the Ursuline Education Foundation

(UEF)… Does the transfer mean that Ursuline Sisters will no longer be involved in the schools? Thankfully, no!


In its work to assure the schools’ adherence to Catholic teaching and Ursuline charism, the UEF is led by the Sponsors Council. Members of the Council include two Ursuline Sisters as Canonical Stewards along with nine lay people (two of whom are Ursuline St. Louis alumnae), the President/Head of School from each school in the Province (ex officio), and Province leaders. The Province offices are located on our campus, so the community also has many other opportunities to interact with the Sisters, including Freshmen Viaggio Days, Alumnae Induction, masses and feast days. The Central Province has recently identified new leaders, who we will continue to work with on various business matters as well. We will do our best to assure that the Sisters' presence continues to be a strong one!


Stay tuned!
