‘Ursuline Legacy Mural: Heritage Alive,’ 2023. Multi-media digital collage. Chatham, Canada.
What is the legacy of the Ursuline Sisters over time?
Stories of education—past and present—shaped a collective vision for the future, grounded in values that continue to inspire.
Students, teachers, staff, alumni, Ursuline Sisters, family, and friends reflected on future generations while exploring the legacy of the Ursulines in both the school’s history and present-day context. Retired Ursuline Sisters were interviewed to share their experiences and values, which students then illustrated—bridging past and present through visual storytelling that captured both enduring principles and contemporary challenges.
