“Be active, redouble your efforts, believe, hope, and pray to God with all your heart...”
Faithful to the words of their Foundress, the Ursuline Sisters continue to respond to the Lord’s call, serving others through education and charitable work.
Their mission: Education!
Today, the Greek-French School Ursulines — comprising a Kindergarten, Primary School, Middle School, and High School for both boys and girls — proudly carries the responsibility of a three-hundred-year tradition in the education of Greek children.
The Cradle of the Ursulines in Greece: Naxos In 1630, the Jesuit monks, having already established a school for boys on the island, invited the Ursuline Sisters to create a school for girls. Thus, under the guidance of the Jesuits and with the protection of France, the Ursulines founded their monastery in Naxos in 1670 and began their educational mission.
