The Ursuline
Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Louisville began when three
sisters from Straubing, Germany, arrived to teach at St. Martin School
in Louisville in 1858. They first founded schools on the Ursuline Campus
on Lexington Road in 1877. Among other things, Ursuline Sisters are
educators, social workers, healthcare professionals and administrators.
They work with the poor and disenfranchised in a variety of programs
while continue to search for ways to grow personally and spiritually.
As women of peace, hope and simplicity, Ursuline Sisters seek to empower
women and to be in solidarity with them in a shared search for God.
