St Angela Merici

Tomorrow we celebrate the feast day of St Angela Merici, the foundress of the Ursuline sisters. Coffee and cakes after 9.30 Mass on Sunday 27th January, all welcome.
We are blessed and give thanks for the witness of the Ursulines based in St Thomas More's, Sr Maureen, Sr Jane and still a welcome visitor Sr Zela, who moved to the Wimbledon late last year.  There are two other groups who join with the Ursulines to celebrate the feast day, lay women who belong to the secular group of Ursulines known as the Company of St Ursula and the Angelinas, a group of mothers of young children who meet monthly.

The video above shows images from St Angela's life.  Later in the coming week we shall share more about the Angelinas who met this week.
