Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville are in solidarity with migrants, refugees and those on the margins. We believe in the inherent dignity of all people, regardless of their immigration status, and strive to work toward a more just and compassionate society. We are called by Christ to welcome the stranger and to recognize His face in all our brothers and sisters.
Our commitment includes:

  • Interfaith collaboration with local coalitions and faith communities serving immigrant populations.
  • Financial support through Peace & Justice grants and donations to organizations affected by funding cuts.
  • Multi-year commitments to immigrant service agencies that provide essential resources and advocacy.
  • Volunteering at learning centers and community programs.
  • Advocacy efforts to identify needs and create awareness in this challenging political climate.

Our work with migrants and refugees reflects the principles of human dignity, solidarity, preferential option for the poor, and the common good that are central to Catholic Social Teaching. As outlined in our 2020 Chapter and aligned with our Laudato Si’ commitment, we seek to live our faith through collaborative service to those most vulnerable in our society.
