Saint Angela Merici, born on March 21, 1474, in Desenzano del Garda, was a visionary who founded the Company of Saint Ursula (Ursulines), the first teaching order of women religious in the Church. Orphaned at 10 and later losing her sister, she joined the Third Order of Saint Francis, embracing a life of prayer and service. Around 1516, after a vision in Crete calling her to educate girls, she settled in Brescia, forming a group of women to teach poor and orphaned girls—a revolutionary act in an era when women’s education was neglected. Officially founding the Ursulines in 1535 under Saint Ursula’s patronage, she died on January 27, 1540, leaving a legacy that spread globally, empowering women through learning and faith. | Saint Angela Merici, born on March 21, 1474, in Desenzano del Garda, was a visionary who founded the Company of Saint Ursula (Ursulines), the first teaching order of women religious in the Church.
