St. Angela Merici was an Italian religious educator. She founded the Company of St. Ursula 1535 in Brescia, in which women dedicated their lives to the service of the Church through the education of girls. This organization later sprang the monastic Order of Ursulines, whose nuns established places of prayer and learning throughout Europe and, later, worldwide, most notably in North America.
