28th November, 2024 marks the beginning of the 125th year since the formation of the
Roman Union in 1900. The founders of the Roman Union, the prioresses of many
autonomous monasteries, faced many challenges and struggles, yet they recognised that
they could support each other better together than they could if they remained apart. They
had a strong hope for the future that such a union would offer, a future in which we now
live. We have much to be grateful for as we reflect on the richness of the Roman Union
today.
In this 125th year of the Roman Union of Ursulines, let us together, sisters, colleagues and
friends, commit ourselves to live with gratitude and hope, as, in the spirit of St Angela
Merici, we witness to the Gospel in our times.

Prioress General

Ursulines of the Roman Union - Who we are?
Ursuline spirituality finds its first source in the Gospel and the following of Christ. It is enriched specifically by the spirituality of our foundress Saint Angela Merici.
Angela’s spirituality was centered on her intimate relationship to Jesus Christ who was her “only life and hope”.
