We are Catholic nuns who respond together to the most critical needs of God’s people in northeast Ohio, especially the greater Mahoning Valley since 1874. God touched our hearts and our lives with a call to live a life of service for the sake of the gospel. Our name comes from St. Ursula, a 3rd century virgin and martyr. Our heritage comes from St. Angela Merici, a 16th century saint.

We get our energy from our relationship with Jesus and the story of St. Angela. Angela’s yearning to live a life reflective of Jesus inspires us to find the God who loves unconditionally. We hope to nurture that yearning in others.
Because we are Ursulines, we continually search for ways to grow personally and spiritually. We invite you to learn more about us. Click on the various links to learn about our history and hear the stories of the Ursulines.
[...] say this particular “work” setting was ideal because its location was the chapel at the Ursuline Motherhouse. I was able to set the chairs in a circle and arrange an altar as a focal point. The session was shorter than typical, only 45 minutes.
After the session one of the Sisters asked if I would lead a session for them and their associates– I was flattered! But I took the opportunity to ask if they had anyone musical who might be interested in learning to facilitate. Training facilitators seems to be the next step in our Singing Meditation journey. She was interested in exploring this with us.
