They are called to be people of the Gospel, identifying with Christ in the many passages of their lives. They are committed to conversion in their efforts to become a community of disciples who live simply, love tenderly and act justly. The Associates are carriers of the Spirit's dream to participate in the mission of Jesus, who frees the oppressed and brings new life. Our associates share a life of prayer and service with the Ursuline Sisters.
Many associates work side by side with the sisters in various ministries.
Others experience the support of the Congregation as they minister in many different areas living out the call of Christ and the charism of Saint Angela Merici. Those Associates who are no longer active in ministry provide support through concern and prayer. An applicant will be a minimum of eighteen years of age. Formal application and identification of an Ursuline Companion within the Ursuline Congregation. Approval by Associate Board.
