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.

As Ursulines, we remain committed to prayer and action, standing with all who seek to end gun violence and to address its root causes. May we continue working together for peace, justice, and a future where every child can grow in safety. ... See MoreSee Less

In June, students from 𝐔𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐃𝐄 spent 12 days in Taiwan on a cultural immersion and exchange program. This partnership with 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐨 𝐔𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 and 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐔𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 began in 2020 through virtual exchanges. Over time, the relationship grew into a multi-year curriculum where students explored global challenges through their cultural perspectives and reflected on how their Serviam calling inspired action within their Ursuline schools. What began online blossomed into an in-person visit, marking a historic moment for both Wenzao and Stella Maris as they welcomed American students and faculty for the first time.
At Wenzao in Kaohsiung, students were warmly welcomed by Sr. Cecilia and the Sisters at the convent. They shared meaningful time together and the students gifted the Sisters with artwork that symbolizes the global Ursuline sisterhood.
The group also visited Stella Maris in Hualien, where they toured a local coffee farm run by a Stella Maris student’s parent and learned about the coffee-making process. Their journey concluded in Taipei with visits to the National Palace Museum and Chun Shui Tang teahouse, the birthplace of bubble tea.
Experiences like these enrich Ursuline students’ global education while fostering meaningful connections and shaping them into compassionate world citizens. ... See MoreSee Less

The theme, 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝑼𝒏𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏: 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒐𝒅'𝒔 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆, echoed Pope Francis’ call to be “messengers of consolation” in a world facing a “famine of hope.” Keynote speakers included Fr. Jim Martin, SJ, of America Media, and Sr. Simona Brambilla, MC, prefect of the Vatican office on consecrated life.
A major highlight came on Thursday morning when attendees participated in a 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆, a one-mile walk through downtown Atlanta, reflecting on racism, forced migration, and climate change through readings, songs, and silent prayer. “It was a profound experience walking alongside my fellow religious women in prayer and reflection as we envision a path toward a more peaceful and caring world,” said Sr. Jeannie Humphries. ...
