A Moment for Mission
In the face of the personal, communal and social realities that we face today, Ursula provides us with an example of how we can embrace these vulnerabilities - together, in support of each other, offering guidance and direction through our shared commitment and companionship, and in the presence of our God of Life.

A Note from the President |
|
Two quick things for you…
I encourage you to mark your calendar - November 3rd - for the next session of the Parent Speaker Series featuring Fr. Augustine Wetta. In addition to teaching English, Classics, and Theology at Priory, Fr. Wetta is an avid surfer, rugby coach, and dynamic, humorous speaker. Registration information will come to you next week. His topic is “The Power of Listening in a Culture of Outrage.” All participants will be entered into a drawing for a copy of Fr. Wetta’s recent book, Humility Rules: Saint Benedicts Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem. You don’t want to miss this one!
We’re all so excited to be back in-person to sip and shop at Meet Me on Monroe this Sunday! There is a great mix of vendors with supplies on hand - no need to worry about supply chain issues for your holiday gift-giving! More information is below and a HUUUUUGGGGEEEEE thank you to Tracy Polansky ‘90 and Maureen Heidenry for making this event happen - it’s a lot of work and a true act of Serviam.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Peggy Slater

Safety Update -Oct. 11-15
This week, we had 1 positive and 3 quarantined cases. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school, it also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.
- Numbers as they stand today (at least one dose of COVID vaccine):
- Students: 65.6%
- Co-workers: 90.5%

Monthly Update: We continue to monitor the situation and have no changes to report for the month of October.
