What a delight to welcome you to our home on the Web. As congregational leader of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, I have the privilege of offering you the (virtual) hospitality of our home and family.

Throughout our 475-year history, Ursulines have encouraged their members, their friends, and those with whom they pray and minister, to continually discover the best that is within them. As you examine our web home, I encourage you to continue your own journey of prayerful exploration.

Are you an alumna (or perhaps an alumnus) of the Mount Saint Joseph Academy? Begin your visit to your alma mater with our Alumnae link. Then, please wander through our other links meeting “old friends” and former teachers, sharing in our news and happenings.

Are you a scholar, seeking information about religious orders or women of note who have influenced history? Then, welcome to a rich source that can put you in touch with Saint Angela Merici, our founder from 16th century Italy. In our “History,” “Associates,” “Ministries,” and “Leadership” links, you will also discover women of the present and recent past who are actively reshaping the world in which we live.

Are you an Associate of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph? We welcome you home as always. Check those sites you know so well that will link you to dates, doings, and deepening spiritual explorations. Check the photo and ministry sections for updates on all that’s “in the news.”

Are you a former Ursuline just touching base again? Well, welcome home, cherished daughter. We invite you to wander freely across our web home. Renew earlier acquaintances, reconnect with the spirit that first brought you among us. Please feel welcome.

Are you seeking a place for spiritual growth, rest, recreation, or refreshment? Then, please visit the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center site. We have programs, retreats, spiritual directions, education, and facilities that enrich and restore.

Are you “just exploring?” Then you could not have come to a better place. We hope you can feel the spirit of prayerful journeying that infuses the mission, members, associates, and colleagues and friends of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph.

Again, welcome to our home on the Web; we hope you might also find your way to our cherished corner of Kentucky. If you do, then please stop by. Join us in prayer, in service, in relaxation, and in joyful exploration.

Blessings,

Sister Sharon Sullivan, OSU
Congregational Leader
