A Word of Welcome

Dear Sisters, Dear Friends,

At the moment of the celebration of the anniversary of the Foundation of the Company of St Ursula, 25th November, we are publishing the first part of a collection of new source documents for all those who collaborate in our work of education.

URSULINE EDUCATION (click here)

We have chosen the SYMBOL of the TREE, with its roots, trunk, and branches for presenting articles from all the regions, written by colleagues representing our Ursuline schools and colleges in different parts of the world.

The ROOTS, a source of life, will include articles on Angela’s spirituality and life; and aspects of Ursuline education and history.

The TRUNK, drawing life from the roots, will offer articles which focus on core values and on profiles of Ursuline educators and students.

The BRANCHES, will present articles which express the lived realities of the core values n various schools and colleges worldwide. This first section published in November 2011 presents the roots. St. Angela herself did not found schools, but her vision has inspired education over four centuries, for women and girls for whom education was often simply not an option. In the 21st century, this inspiration touches the lives of many young women and men in many different countries and cultures. May these source documents be the occasion of an openness to the spirit of St. Angela and to the depths inherent in our Ursuline educational traditions.
