Council of Religious enjoys “Spring Fling” at Maple Mount

The Ursuline Sisters welcomed the Council of Religious in the Diocese of Owensboro to Maple Mount for a “Spring Fling” on April 26, 2025, which included lunch and some fun games of bingo. The Council represents the 10 communities of women religious who serve in the diocese. Four of those communities were represented this year. Here are some pictures from their day, courtesy of Ursuline Sister Suzanne Sims, who is a member of the Council of Religious Steering Committee, and Sister Nancy Murphy.
