Community
Service
at Ursuline
Community service is an important part of both the Catholic faith tradition
and an Ursuline education. Using Catholic Social Teaching as our foundation, UA students are
taught to put their faith into action - respecting the life and dignity of
others, hearing the call to be part of a larger family of God through community,
respecting and protecting the rights of others, placing priority on the needs of
the poor and the most vulnerable in society, respecting the dignity of work and
the rights of workers, learning to live in solidarity, and caring for God’s
Creation.
