The Ursulines of Prelate celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of Mary on Aug. 15, which also happens to be the day most of the sisters made their vows.

Four jubilarians celebrated special milestones this year: Sr. Rose Anne Engel 75 years, Sr. Charlotte Beler 70 years, Sr. Gertrude Sopracolle 65 years, and Sr. Dianne Sehn 60 years. 

In 1919 the Prelate Ursulines founded St. Angela’s Convent and boarding school at Prelate, SK, which closed in 2007. Members of the order have taught and served in a wide variety of ways across Saskatchewan and beyond. Several Ursulines of Prelate now live in Saskatoon communities at Columbian Village, St. Angela Merici Residence, and Trinity Manor at Stonebridge.
