An Associate is a person

who wants to be affiliated with the mission and the spirit of the Ursuline community;

• who wants to share in the community's goals, ideals, and challenges;
• who wishes to carry gospel living, as exemplified in the life of Saint Angela Merici, into his or her daily life.

Associates share prayer, celebration, and hospitality with the Ursuline Community, while living their own lifestyles and
spreading the spirit of Saint Angela in their workplace and environment.

Membership in the Mount Saint Joseph Associate Program is a mutual belonging, individually designed, which may be revised or terminated by mutual agreement.

OUR MISSION

We, the associates of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus through the actions of our everyday lives. We commit ourselves to living the charism of Saint Angela Merici in union with and in support of the Ursuline community of Mount Saint Joseph.

AN ASSOCIATE PRAYER

Loving God, let Saint Angela never cease commending us to your kindness. By always imitating her charity and prudence, may we come to a deeper understanding of the mission of Jesus. May we always reflect his presence in our lives. Amen.
