The name Ursuline
The Ursuline Women's Teachers' Training College derives its name from St. Ursula the patroness of the Ursuline Sisters.
St. Ursula:
St. Ursula was a virgin and martyr who was highly venerated in the West as the patroness of educators and the youth. St. Ursula’s undivided Love for Christ even to the point of martyrdom had inspired St. Angela Deeply.
St. Angela:
Angela was born in Desenzano, in North Italy. She was a Tertiary of St. Francis of Assisi. She began to teach Catechism to children and families to revive the faith. She served people of all ranks, especially the most neglected.
Foundation of the Congregation
Ursuline Congregation was founded y St. Angela Merici in Brescia on November 25. 1535. Angela wanted her daughters to emulate the love and heroic courage of St. Ursula, her generosity and zeal and educate children and women, and thus renew the families and bring about transformation in the Society and give it a new life. Angela wished her followers never to abandon their apostolate among the youth. It was Angela’s deep humility to wish that while her SPIRIT should remain alive in the congregation, it was nevertheless not to be named after her, the Foundress. Today in India, there is a large number of educational institutions which bear the name of St. Ursula.
Fr. John Cornelius lambertz
Fr. J. C. lambertz was born at Hoogstraten in Belgium. In response to God’s call he left behind his successful career of a Chemist and became the Parish Priest of Tildonk. At that time Tildonk was in a state of spiritual destitution. With the help of three generous young women he began educating children, especially girls, believing that they in turn would change their families and renew the face of the Church and the society at large. The little group of Sisters increased in number and a Religious Congregation was born. They were given the Constitutions of the Ursuline of Bordeaux, France, who were ounded by St. Angela Merici. Fr. John Lambertz called his Sisters “Daughters of St. Ursula” which started in Tildonk, Belgium on 30th April 1818. Thus, today we are called the Ursuline Sisters of the Congregation of Tildonk.
