Ursuline Sisters surpass $1 million endowment goal

LOUISVILLE, Ky., (October 13, 2003) - The Ursuline Sisters of Louisville are pleased to announce that the Marian Home Endowment Fund has surpassed the $1 million mark. The increase in the endowment will help the Ursuline Sisters offset the operational costs of the licensed health care facility on the Ursuline Campus, which has been one of their sponsored ministries since 1977.

"Our sisters and staff are so grateful to everyone who has helped us reach this goal," said Sister Jean Anne Zappa, president of the Ursulines Sisters of Louisville. "With the growing cost of health care, we are continually challenged with meeting the financial needs of Marian Home, which cares for our infirm and retired sisters. Raising these funds offers hope as we continue to work toward meeting operational expenses."

The endowment campaign has been one aspect of Marian Home's 25th anniversary fundraising campaign that was completed at the end of October. The fundraising drive has been successful in providing new equipment and renovations for the facility throughout the past year.
