The Renaissance Said “No School For Girls”; Saint Angela Merici Said “Watch Me”

Send us a text

We trace Saint Angela Merici’s bold vision for teaching girls during the Renaissance and why her Eucharist-centered model still renews families, schools, and parishes today. From early trials to the founding of the Ursulines and their expansion, we show how study and prayer form saints.

• barriers to girls’ education in the Renaissance
• Angela’s early life, Franciscan devotion and call
• founding the Company of Saint Ursula
• the first lay teaching order for girls
• Eucharist-centred catechesis and daily prayer
• spiritual motherhood and leadership in education
• facing opposition with humility and fidelity
• spread of Ursuline schools across Europe
• practical renewal for homes, schools and parishes
