International Serviam Day
Sponsored by the Ursuline Academy Alumnae Association

"Regard yourselves as ministers and servants, reflecting that you have more need to serve them than they have to be served by you." - St. Angela Merici, First Council

Join us for our rescheduled International Serviam Day on Saturday, April 18, 2026. As we live out our motto of Serviam, we must continue to “cultivate this vine” entrusted to us, as St. Angela instructed us to do.

This is an opportunity for all Ursuline community members, including students, alumnae, parents, grandparents, coworkers, Sisters, and collaborators, to come together with our fellow worldwide Ursuline communities to volunteer in the local community and continue to answer the call to serve others.  

Many Ursuline schools will also be participating in service projects around the United States and in many other countries as we continue to be united in one heart in service.  Our Sister school, Ursuline Academy in Dallas, began this tradition, and we are grateful to see how it has grown greatly. All are welcome to join in our St. Louis area efforts. 

Join us for the rescheduled Serviam Day on April 18! All parents, students, coworkers, alumnae, Ursuline Sisters, and friends of Ursuline are invited to join Ursuline communities around the world in a day of service. This date was rescheduled from January due to inclement weather.
