Fred Moran to Present Check to Support Ursuline Sisters Mission

CANFIELD – Ursuline Sisters Mission is honored to announce a generous donation of $300,000 from Fred Moran, co-owner of Window World, Boardman, to support the Fullness of Life, Future of Hope campaign. Mr. Moran presented a check during a ceremony in our Motherhouse Lobby April 12. This campaign is dedicated to ensuring compassionate care for the Ursuline Sisters in their retirement, sustaining the mission’s vital programs and addressing essential capital needs to continue its life-changing work.

In recognition of Fred Moran’s commitment to the mission and its ongoing efforts, the lobby of the Ursuline Motherhouse is being named in memory of his beloved wife, Lucy L. Moran, who passed away in January 2024.

As part of the campaign’s goals, the Ursuline Motherhouse is being renovated into a licensed assisted living facility that will provide care for both the Sisters and laypeople in need of support during their retirement years.

Fred and his family have been dedicated supporters of Beatitude House and Ursuline Sisters Mission for many years. In addition to his philanthropic contributions, Fred, alongside his son Pat Moran, co-owner of Window World, hosts an annual Golf Outing Tournament to raise vital funds to support the programs and services of Ursuline Sisters Mission and Beatitude House, which is dedicated to assisting homeless families and individuals with housing and educational opportunities.

The Golf Outing Tournament was originally founded by Fred’s daughter and son-in-law, Linda and Joe Vivacqua, after they connected with Sister Margaret Scheetz, founder of Beatitude House. She shared her mission to provide homeless women and children with the resources they need to achieve stability and success.

“We are deeply grateful for Fred’s continued generosity and the impact he and his family have made on our mission,” said Sister Patricia McNicholas, Donor Relations Director of Ursuline Sisters Mission. “We can always count on the Moran family to champion our work, particularly in improving the lives of the most vulnerable populations in our community, especially disadvantaged women and children.”
