We are a community of Roman Catholic Religious Women who trace our origins to Angela Merici, a Renaissance woman of the 16th century. In her concern for the social problems of her era, she founded an order of religious women to re-establish Christian values in the home. In the spirit inherited from Angela, the Ursulines of Brown County, through a deep communal life and shared sense of mission, continue in a variety of apostolates, to serve the social needs of our time.
