A Moment for Mission

For if it is Jesus who directs and teaches you, you will be well taught.

-St. Angela Merici-7th Counsel

Hello!

Rentals are ordered, Ambassadors are being trained, coworkers are ready and facilities are being spruced up … it must be time for OPEN HOUSE! Yes, the Admissions/Enrollment team has been hard at work getting things organized so that all of our visitors have a “wow” experience on November 5th, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Please note that the time is a bit earlier than years past.)

If you know of any future Bears, please remind them that Open House is a great way to see all that Ursuline has to offer. For 7th graders, it’s a warm-up to a spring shadow visit and for 8th graders, a chance to get answers to those final burning questions. There is no need to pre-register… We’re excited to welcome all!

A special request to parents of Ambassadors … we are having a bit of a challenge with some Ambassadors indicating to us now that they are unable to be here for Open House, which is a major component of the commitment they made in May/August. We would appreciate your support in having them be here for this important event. And, on our end, we’ve learned that in the future, it would help to provide parents with additional communication when students sign on as Ambassadors.

Many thanks,

Peggy Slater

Eucharistic Adoration

Oct 30 from 8:30-2:30 p.m. in the chapel

Adoration is a form of prayer where we come before the Blessed Sacrament. Because as Catholics we believe Jesus Christ is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, we “watch and wait,” remaining in silent prayer and adoration, opening our hearts to Him, talking to Him interiorly, and listening for any silent words He gives us. We would like a minimum of 2 people there every half hour. Eucharistic Adoration Sign-up Sheet. Once the schedule is finalized Mrs. Weston will send you details for the day.

Submit Your Prayer Intentions

If you have prayer intentions you would like us to pray for please fill out this form and we will include them in our prayer day relay. Also, please feel free to send this to anyone you know within our UA family who may be interested!
