Ursuline Activities Council

This loyal group of men and women supported the Ursuline apostolate from the early 1950’s. Their first meeting was September 5, 1951, with the announcement that they intended “to promote, integrate and coordinate the activities and groups interested in furthering the educational programs of the Ursuline Sisters.” In 1953 they conducted a Capital Funds Drive. During the subsequent decades they continued to meet the original goals, especially with the two major fund-raisers, the Benefit Dinner and the Cherry Blossom Festa. In addition to supporting Ursuline apostolates, they took an active interest in raising money for the Ursuline Sisters Retirement Fund.
