The seventh in our series of videos detailing the history of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph in their 150th year at Maple Mount covers the years of 1950 to 1968. The Ursuline Sisters founded Brescia College in 1950, Owensboro’s first four-year, coed college. Brescia is now a university, and will celebrate 75 years in 2025, and actually 100 years since its predecessor began, the Mount Saint Joseph Junior College for Women. The video further explores the death of Bishop Francis Cotton and the changes brought on by the Second Vatican Council.
