The person who founded this Congregation was Bishop William Patrick Whelan aMI, with the encouragement and support of Father Jean Verot aMI.

Angela Merici: The way of an urban prophet. A pre-modern narrative for a post-modern world
No full textThis study examines our human vocation through the life and pedagogy of Angela Merici. Merici was a 16th century Italian woman, who founded The Company of St. Ursula. Shortly, after her death it became the Ursuline Order. This work seeks to demonstrate that Merici\u27s life-mission was to reclaim our Christian Story and vocation that was subverted by the ideology of patriarchy during the Italian Renaissance. A pre-modern narrative for a post-modern world, Merici\u27s life, the study proposes, was a prophetic impulse that has implications for our current familial, social and political structures, as well as for life within the Church and society today. The research design utilizes the symbolic metaphor of Beauty to explore the pre-modern narrative of Merici as a way to educate towards our human vocation in a post-modern world. An aesthetic hermeneutical lens is employed to bridge themes of Merici\u27s pedagogy to current religious education theory and practice. The symbol of Beauty emerged from the research as a political educative form of life that stands in resistance to destructive and deceptive structures created by nullified patriarchal symbols of the 16th century. The central thesis of this study argues that Merici\u27s pedagogy can be re-conceptualized if seen through a dialogue between the problems experienced by enslaving symbols in her culture and the current problems created by the deadening symbols of a mechanistic, patriarchal, and consumerist culture in the United States. The work proposes that the symbolic expression of Merici\u27s narrative educated towards a form of cultural resistance that liberated women, children, and men to be refashioned in the image of God. It purports that as religious educators, it is our moral responsibility to create a new pedagogy that no longer suppresses our spiritual gifts, and that liberates our religious imagination and inner wisdom so that we might overcome the oppressive hierarchical structures that no longer function redemptively in the world today

Attraverso le soglie del tempo e dello spazio. Le orsoline di Angela Merici nell’Australia di oggi
No full textThe Australian Ursulines represent an original case of contemporary female religiosity, which overcomes the boundaries of the religious and the secular, the past and the present, the female and the universal. Their model of religious life is a-institutional, inward-looking, a-hierarchical, democratic, and respectful of the members’ choices. Furthermore, in their participation to civic life, the Australian Ursulines promote innovative social and political initiatives. They have recently developed these characteristics in continuation with the spirit and thought of the sixteenth-century foundress of their order, Angela Merici

Una proposta di riforma della 'vita christiana' nel primo Cinquecento in Italia: Battista da Crema, Girolamo Miani e Angela Merici
No full textIl saggio esamina in forma comparativa la concezione della ‘vita cristiana’ di alcune compagnie spirituali, un tempo considerate come espressione di una ‘Riforma cattolica’ filantropica e catechetica, istituite o ispirate nel primo Cinquecento nel Nord Italia da Caterina da Genova, Battista da Crema, Gaetano Thiene, Angela Merici, Girolamo Miani e Antonio Zaccaria. Si intende dimostrare come tali compagnie abbiano rappresentato un movimento riformatore uniforme e ‘non-convenzionale’, che va considerato all’interno di una più ampia corrente di ripensamento delle forme della ‘vita cristiana’ che si andava diffondendo all’alba della propagazione delle idee luterane
