Ursuline Sisters in the Classroom
Were you taught by an Ursuline Sister
of Youngstown? Generations of people in
the Mahoning Valley were. After all, we’re
celebrating our 140th anniversary this year!
We once were known as a teaching
community. Today our Sisters have diverse
ministries, but many are still in schools. Take
Sister Regina Rogers
Sisters Regina, Jan and Carole for example.
Sister Regina Rogers is assistant principal at Ursuline High
School, Youngstown, heads the Service Program, and has ministered as
a religion instructor there. “I’ve been here over 30 years,” she says. “It’s
a wonderful place to be. It’s a great experience to see students grow.”
For 36 years, Sister Jan Gier has
ministered as a teacher and administrator in
grade schools and preschools. Currently she
teaches kindergarten at St. Stephen School,
Niles. “I love teaching,” she proclaims.
“Kindergarten’s my favorite grade because the
students are so enthusiastic. The children love
to learn and get excited about simple things.”

Ministering as an intervention specialist
is Sister Carole Suhar. At St. Rose School,
Girard, she works with students who need a
little extra help with their subjects. For nearly
five decades, she’s ministered as an instructor
and administrator. Of teaching, she says, “I
absolutely love it. It’s the best way to reach
children. They’re so open to what you say.”

Celebrate National Catholic
Sisters Week with Us
Join us in celebrating National Catholic Sisters Week
March 8-14 as part of Women’s History Month. The initiative was
launched by St. Catherine University, St. Paul, Minnnesota, with a grant
from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. It’s meant to increase public
awareness of the lives and contributions of Catholic sisters —
throughout history, in today’s world, and into the future.
During this week, be sure to visit theursulines.org and our Social
Media sites. You’ll learn much more about us, our mission and
ministries — meeting many of our Sisters, seeing photos and learning
how you can be involved with us.
