Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland

American history cannot be told without recounting the inspired and faithful service of women religious. Across centuries and decades, their efforts—abundant with creativity, compassion, and courage—have changed countless lives. From their missions to open orphanages in war torn countries, to establishing and staffing hospitals in developing urban centers, to founding schools as teachers and administrators, to marching for civil rights, WRAC ensures these Catholic sisters’ legacies.

For centuries, Catholic sisters have brought hope to life through service — educating children, caring for the sick, welcoming immigrants, feeding families, advocating for justice, and protecting God’s creation. Every ministry, every act of compassion, every community served is a reminder that hope is not passive — hope is built through service.
