Mission: As women of faith, committed to the Gospel, the Ursuline Sisters respond with compassion and justice to the needs of all people touched by HIV/AIDS.
Programs: The ministry now serves almost 200 men, women and children infected of affected by HIV/AIDS with the following programs:
- Pastoral visitation to homes and hospitals
- A speaker's bureau for presentations to professional, civic and church groups
- The Guardian Angel Cafe, a monthly dinner/social event for the HIV/AIDS community and their guests
- Angela's Place, a non-food pantry of household items and personal supplies
- A food pantry
- The Caring Connection, consisting of children's support services, parent/guardian support services, transportation and Casa Madre, our children's respite home and ministry site
- Comprehensive adult and pediatric HIV Care Center
We work closely with all of the area HIV/AIDS agencies and professionals for outreach and cooperative projects, the agency administering Ryan White Emergency Assistance and HUD/HIV housing, and AIDS educators. None of those agencies are duplicating services we provide. We administer our regional Ryan White Consortium, the planning body responsible for coordinating HIV health care and support services for Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana and Jefferson counties. We also coordinate extensively with other service agencies, businesses and Diocesan and community programs that assist the poor and address issues of poverty.
