We are delighted to announce the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown's 150th Anniversary Celebration Dinner. This special event honors the past, present, and future of the Ursuline Sisters, commemorating their enduring legacy of service and their vision for ministry in the years ahead.

The anniversary celebration and fundraising dinner will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2024. The evening will begin with a Mass at St. Columba Cathedral at 4:00 p.m., followed by a reception at Waypoint 4180 in Canfield.

The theme of the 150th anniversary, "Fullness of Life, Future of Hope," underscores the ambitious goal of raising $10,000,000 through three key initiatives:

Care of the Sisters: We aim to raise $4 million to support the retirement needs of the Ursuline Sisters, who have selflessly served our community since 1874. With a median age of 80, these dedicated women require our assistance, facing an estimated shortfall of up to $10 million for their care.

Program Support: We seek $3 million to sustain our essential ministries in education, spiritual growth, and pastoral care. Your support enables us to continue assisting families in need and fostering wellness, education, and spirituality within our community.

Capital Needs: We plan to raise $3 million to transform part of the Shields Road Motherhouse into an assisted living facility and to update safety measures at other ministry sites.

The event will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a delicious dinner, and opportunities to connect with fellow supporters of the Ursuline Sisters.
