Know how grateful we are for your commitment to Serviam in providing generous support to deserving students.

We are truly blessed with the joyeux and creative leadership of our wonderful 2022 Event Chairs, Tara Walsh and Megan Thornton, and the many volunteers and underwriters who have given so generously to make these events possible. We cannot thank you enough for your love of Ursuline and belief in its mission. We hope you enjoy the assortment of Mardi Gras events this year and are able to celebrate with friends and family and also find a way to make fundraising for scholarships une succès retentissant!

It is a Festival indeed!

A celebration of Ursuline’s history and mission began in 1874 when six Sisters opened their small cottage as a school for six young girls. From those first students to today’s 870: a story of continuous growth and blessing! Mardi Gras is Ursuline’s main avenue for raising money for girls who dream of UA, but whose family finances thwart that dream. Your presence tonight is a gift to those girls because Mardi Gras is for scholarships. We Ursuline Sisters are full of gratitude for all who have had a part in this lovely event, La Fête. To all our guests: Enjoy!

"Be bound to one another by the bond of charity, esteeming each other, helping each other, bearing with each other in Jesus Christ." - St. Angela Merici, Last Counsel
