Society of St. Ursula

The Society of the Sisters of Saint Ursula of the Blessed Virgin, often simply called Society of St. Ursula is a Catholic religious congregation for women founded in 1606 at Dole, France by Venerable Anne de Xainctonge.

• Our mission is rooted in the education of girls and women, especially serving those most in need.

• We follow a life of apostolic service (active ministry in the Church and world) and religious consecration.

• The Society is present internationally — in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America — and involved in education, pastoral work, social justice, and spiritual ministries

• Our spirituality combines a deep Ignatian influence (reflecting the spirituality of the Jesuits) with a focus on practical service in the world.

• The Society of St. Ursula (S.U.) first came to India in 1953 when three Swiss sisters — Sr. Nicholas, Sr. Zita, and Sr. Xaveria — landed in Rahata (Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra) to begin the Society’s mission. Read More »
