PRESIDENT OF URSULINE FRANCISCAN
EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY

I am delighted to welcome and invoke God’s blessings on all those who go through this website of Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society.

The Ursuline Franciscan Sisters are called by God to follow Jesus Christ in the footsteps of St Angela Merici, St Francis of Assisi and St Ursula our Patron saints, Fr Urban Stein SJ, our Founder, Mother Nympha Fernandez, the first Superior and the Pioneers to proclaim God’s love and bring Fullness of Life to the humanity.

The Ursuline Franciscan Congregation has history of 130 years in carrying out the formal and non formal educational institutions. Presently it is our privilege to carry forward this noble task. The XIII General Chapter of the Congregation held from April 30 to May 17, 2016 with a theme “Ursuline Franciscan Sisters: Taking a Stand, Making a Difference with the Mind and Heart of Christ” has challenged us to expose to the public the good done by our Educational Society through information- communication technology.

The digital revolution that is transforming every facet of the society has entered the classrooms too. It contributes to the realization of the schools shaping education through digital vision. It helps us to move from the traditional way of communicating to the digital system .The Closed classroom is opened as the school goes online. The teachers and students can with pride reveal the work done within the four walls.

“Education is a process of enlightening the mind, enkindling the heart,
empowering the soul, energizing the body, enthusing the whole person so as to bring to the fullest possible realization all the hidden potential of the human personality in order to enable the individual to build a human society marked by freedom, fellowship and Justice” Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.

True to the spirit of St. Angela Merici, our Patron, the pioneering members of the Company of St. Ursula in Mangalore began the Ursuline ideal of education at its very birth especially with an option for the poor, and care for the weak and underprivileged as their priority. This website will unfold the same spirit prevailing now in our institutions. We cultivate in our students moral, ethical and spiritual values along with secular knowledge. They are trained to be
emotionally balanced, intellectually alert, morally sound, spiritually oriented, socially committed and culturally enriched.

The Ursuline Franciscan Educational Website provides an invaluable actual insight into schools thinking, aspirations and daily workings through digital communication. Sites are open for anyone to view. The parents, grandparents’ miles away, interested educators or prospective parents all have open access to the day’s teaching.

I owe my gratitude to my Superior General and the President of The Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society, Very Rev. Sr Apoline (Susheela) Sequiera for the strong support and encouragement in launching this Website. I am grateful to the General Councillors, Provincials, Deputy Secretaries, and all the Heads of the Institutions for their labour of love.

I hope that the launching of this website will assist in enhancing the schools culture and ecosystem, furthering the schools growth and evolution, enabling the schools to interface with the networked world for efficiency and effectiveness.

Our Motto

''FULLNESS OF LIFE''

“I have come that they may have life and have it in fullness” (John 10:10).

These motivating words of Jesus are the basis of the Motto of the Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society.  Jesus came to this world that people may have life and have it abundantly.  Having fullness of life means having superabundance of life.  When we live our life with Jesus who came with the fullness of life we begin to experience the greatness and the worth of our life.  Those who receive life from Jesus have in themselves perennial source of life (John 7:38, 4:14) for themselves and for others.

 ‘Fullness of life’ is the spiritual joy in its fullness.  It propagates new life and has untold capacities about the beauty, fragrance, growth, variety, reproduction, resistance to death, continuity and eternity.

Education is one of the means to transmit this fullness of life and spread the radiance of it in the ambience in which we live.  In the footsteps of Jesus who came to bring fullness of life we the educators under the banner of the Ursuline Franciscan Educational Society undertake our mission to offer that fullness of life to the children and the youth under our care.
