This brief history is an attempt to share the wealth of God's goodness to one small religious family, the Society of St. Ursula, founded at Dole, France in 1606. This richness has been experienced in various ways across four centuries by all who were educated by the Sisters or who came into contact with them in other ministries. The account highlights the works of "women of undaunted courage, enormous faith and burning apostolic zeal." The members of this religious community carry on this legacy in France, Switzerland, Germany, United States, India and Africa.
