"Live in harmony, united together in one heart and one will"St Angela, 9th Counsel

Australian Ursulines are women who live in community. We strive to be true to the model which Angela provided for her companions at the time of the formation of the Company of St Ursula in 1535.

We live in a range of places in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, with some sisters living overseas. 

Women in Community

“We wish to live together as Angela often urged us, in openness to one another, each one accepted, valued and loved for herself. Diversity of age, gifts, nationality and culture will then enrich the community”Constitutions, #80 Community is central to our lives as Ursulines. Our homes are generally suburban dwellings. Sisters now live in small households, in groups of two, three or four, while some sisters live alone, and others live in aged-care residences.
