The Ursuline Sisters
of Youngstown

Our day began in chapel with prayer - a liturgical dance, reflections on the writings of Saint Angela, and time to share our thoughts with those in our groups.

Sister Margaret Ann Carstensen (Toledo) was one of the three sisters who lead our prayer with liturgical movement.

Sisters Kenwyn Stegert (Toledo) and Martha Reed Youngstown) are part of the prayer circles that began our time together.

After time for prayer, we moved to another room where the history of the Ursuline Society was retold.

A metaphor that outlined the differences between merger, federation, and union helped us to visualize the facts.
