St. Angela Merici Jewelry and Collectables

Although Angela lost most of her family and surrounded by conflicts of religion, she remained focused on prayer, fasting, and service. As she became an inspiring source of religious advice, despite once being blind, she turned her house into an institute for women and girls. The St. Ursula institute, named after the saint of the same name, grew over time and spread across the country, becoming known as the Ursulines.
