A Moment for Mission

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are a part of one another, and all involved in one another.

What a great season for our volleyball Bears - a big THANK YOU to Coach Cheak, his coaching staff, Coach Brooks, Mrs. Hartin and our players for your hard work and for representing Ursuline so well. 

All hands are on deck preparing for Open House this Sunday, from 12:00-4:00 p.m. We are pretty much booked up but will be taking walk-ins so if you know of anyone who is interested, please encourage them to come and see what it means to be a Bear! This is a HUGE effort on the part of our Admissions/Enrollment team, all of our coworkers, Chef Marie, parents, Board members and our students - THANK YOU!

Have a great weekend.
