This relationship is formally acknowledged through a sponsorship arrangement whereby the religious congregation engages in ongoing interactions with members of the College community. The following statement expresses the characteristics of this relationship. The Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, Ohio, are committed to the transformation of society by spreading the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Acting as God’s instruments we reconcile and empower others to be Good News for all God’s people, giving special emphasis to families, women, the economically poor, and the powerless. We stand as a sign of hope and healing in our world. True to St. Angela’s charism to be open to the Spirit, dynamically adaptable to society’s changing needs and sensitive to women’s needs, we see our individual ministries as well as our service in sponsored institutions as characterized by the Gospel values of: Contemplation: • Grounding our ministry in prayer • Fostering a contemplative stance toward life • Faith-sharing of common vision Justice: • Ministering with and to the poor and powerless • Initiating and/or influencing systemic change • Collaborating with others in ministry • Using resources responsibly Compassion: • Sharing our love of God through an openness to others and their needs • Supporting others in developing a sense of self-worth • Reverencing the dignity of each person • Extending hospitality Page 1 HISTORY OF URSULINE COLLEGE The heritage of Ursuline College, a Catholic liberal arts institution, dates back to 1535 when Angela Merici founded a community of religious women unique for its integration of contemplation and service and for its flexible adaptation to the changing circumstances of time and place. Angela and her companions were known as Ursulines. Together they strove to revitalize a decadent society through an educational endeavor unheard of up to that time, the education of young girls. In 1850 the charism and mission of Saint Angela were brought to Cleveland by Ursulines from France. Remaining true to the vision of their foundress, the Ursuline Nuns in the person of Mother Mary of the Annunciation Beaumont in 1871 obtained a charter from the state to establish the first women’s college in Ohio and to “confer all such degrees and honors as are conferred by colleges and universities in the United States.” Begun
