Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland
Since the first Ursulines arrived here in 1850, we have been called to ministries that empower others through “lifelong learning,” which has become increasingly important in our fast-paced, technology driven global society.
Being Ursuline means each of us has the opportunity to live deeply spiritual lives while making a difference in our world. We do this by living our Mission of transforming society through contemplation, justice and compassion. We serve people of all ages, races and income levels, although our focus is on women and children, especially the economically poor.
