The Ursuline Sisters have a long and splendid history in Toledo, beginning in 1854 when they came from Cleveland and established residence at the corner of Cherry and Erie Streets and, not four days after their arrival, began St. Ursula Academy. 

The Ursulines’ influence continues to be strong.  Recently, the Sisters made a deliberate sacrificial gift to St. Ursula Academy – the largest ever given by the community – to provide scholarships to St. Ursula Academy students who demonstrate both desire for an SUA education and financial need.  The Sisters chose to make this important gift as a concrete demonstration of their passion for the “vision of St. Angela working with women and helping them with a foundation of dignity and independence,” said Sr. Donna Frey, President of the Ursulines of Toledo.

We’ve just finished a very significant portion of SUA’s $5 million capital campaign. With the help of our board, parents and grandparents, new and loyal donors alike, the SUA Commitment to Values Campaign has raised $4 million towards critically-needed scholarships and urgent renovations and enhancements to our school . . .
