Support the Ursuline Sisters’ ministries as they “Plant the Seeds” of faith

“We plant (the) seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing they hold future promise.” – Prayer of Oscar Romero, Prophets of a Future Not Our Own. The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph (Maple Mount, Ky.) celebrated 150 years of service in 2024 by looking back at their history. Now they look to the future, serving as a voice of hope in a struggling world. The Sisters serve through prayer, in education, in parishes and in nonprofit organizations. Many people shared the impact the Sisters had made on them during the year-long 150th celebration (impact stories were featured in multiple issues of Ursulines Alive magazine). Saint Angela Merici taught all her Ursuline Sisters to “Have hope and firm faith in God, for he will help you in everything.” The Ursuline Sisters continue to need your support to carry on their mission. The Sisters appreciate any gift you can make as they “Plant the Seeds” of faith, love, hope, and peace through prayer and other ministries. To learn more, visit www.ursulinesmsj.org/get-involved.
