Our Ministries

The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph are teachers, musicians, health care professionals, spiritual directors, administrators, pastoral associates, retreat directors, advocates for the poor and religious education professionals. Each sister ministers in a uniquely Ursuline way, following Saint Angela Merici’s directive to “adapt to the needs of the changing times.”

There are several Sisters who engage in ministry at Mount Saint Joseph. Areas at Mount Saint Joseph where the Sisters currently work are leadership, mission advancement, finance, vocations and archives. The Sisters work in the Ursuline Community as community coordinators, treasurer, liturgist, sacristan, hospitality, switchboard, and transportation.

Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph are actively ministering in five states and in Chile, South America. Sisters who are retired carry out the important ministry of prayer, interceding for the needs of the Church and of the world.

The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph sponsor two ministries: Mount Saint Joseph Retreat Ministry and Brescia University in Owensboro, Kentucky.
