St. Angela Merici charged the Ursulines to "cultivate the vine that has been entrusted to you."
Over 500 young women are entrusted to Ursuline's care each year. Cultivating this vine, this legacy, doesn't merely require keeping it alive, but helping it to grow and thrive.
Ursuline is rooted in a deep history of visionary women...
- St. Angela Merici who created a vision for how women could use their gifts in ministry and education.
- Sr. Julia Chatfield who traveled across the Atlantic to establish an Ursuline order in the New World.
- Mother Baptista Freaner who, with $54 in her pocket, established Ursuline Academy, an all-girls day school in Cincinnati 125 years ago.
- Mother Xavier Ladrigan who saw a future for Ursuline in the fields of Blue Ash.
These revolutionary women have laid the foundation for our successes, and as we celebrate 125 year of Ursuline, we invite you to join us in cultivating our vine, not merely helping it to survive, but to climb to new heights for the next 125 years!
Thank you to Holly '94, and all who have given so far, for helping us hit $200,000! Let's see how high we can climb!

We need 100 more donors! A generous donor wants to see us raise $225,000 for our students and has offered to give another $2,500 if the campaign gets 100 more donors. Will you help us get there?

Get ready for 2x the fun! A generous donor has offered to match every dollar donated in a 2 for 1 match up to $10,000! Help us unlock these dollars, Lions!

What do a magistrate, an engineer, and a college student have in common? Theyโre all Ursuline grads and part of the Schoettmer Family. Puck Donovan Schoettmer Stoeckle โ46, Sara Schoettmer โ71, Katie Schoettmer Winn โ74, Laura Schoettmer Downing โ12, and Lily Schoettmer โ18 are celebrating three generations of the Laurel Legacy today by offering a challenge! For each of the next 28 donors, the Schoettmer Family will give another $125 to Ursuline!


How does $25,000 equal $10,000? When some generous donors step up to challenge you! If our community gives $25,000 more dollars to Ursuline on UA Gives Day, Robert and Brenda Rolf will give another $10,000 to the campaign. Will YOUR gift be the one to unlock this gift?
