St. Angela Sophia Sr. Sec. School,jaipur

only in 1535, angela de merici was able to make her first formal foundation at brescia with twelve ladies. amazingly, within the month, the number grew to seventy two. they devoted their lives to the education of young girls. far in advance of her time in the matter of school management, st. angela’s “holy company” was the catholic church’s first order, specially devoted to teaching. she chose the name ursulines for the holy company, in admiration of her favourite saint ursula of the third century. they also visited hospitals and prisons to share god’s light, love and life with the inmates. though angela de merici lived only five years more after the establishment of her order, yet the impact of her deep desire for the development of growing girls through good education has had rich dividends for more than four and a half centuries. and we at st. angela’s jaipur, are among the millions of beneficiaries who have experienced the blessings of her patronage for eighty five years. hail, st.
