About Us

The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph are a vibrant group of women who minister to the needs of the communities in which they serve, in areas such as education, pastoral ministry, nursing, social justice and a variety of other arenas where they have been called by God.

They are guided by their core values of Prayer, Service, Empowerment, Justice and Contemplative Presence, all in the spirit of their founder, Saint Angela Merici.
