We will be adding more events as the year goes on, and will post the details here.  All of our annual events like Reunion and our Evening for Ursuline gala will have a special 75th anniversary flair.  We hope you join us in this opportunity to celebrate our connections to the Ursuline tradition and to one another!

Fr. Martin is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, and bestselling author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage, The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, and Between Heaven and Mirth. Father Martin has written for many publications, including the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and he is a regular commentator in the national and international media.  He joined us to discuss his new book, Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone.  

Individuals with insight into the settings that formed Ursuline Academy's heritage - the town of Brescia, Italy; the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston; and Arlington Street and Dedham, MA - joined us for an interactive discussion on how these different locales contributed to the rich history of the Ursulines, culminating in the Ursuline Academy of today.

Panelists:

• Sr. Elisa Ryan, OSU, Ursuline Central Province
• Nancy Schultz, author of Fire and Roses: The Burning of the Charlestown Convent, 1834
• Sr. Angela Krippendorf '59, OSU, former Provincial of the Northeast Province
