Sent to Serve
A woman entering our community responds personally to God's call by exploring with others a common vision, values and beliefs. In her day-to-day life, she shares her giftedness in service, prayer, community living and recreation.
The Ursulines of Prelate have ministered in many locations in Western Canada, as well as Brazil, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Now they are mostly found serving the people of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
