St. Angela’s Secondary School is part of The Ursuline Order which was founded in Brescia, in Italy in 1535 and came to Ireland in 1711. Since the Ursuline Sisters arrived in Ireland in 1771, they have been involved in the work of education, from Primary through Secondary and on to Third Level. Indeed, communities founded in Waterford and Sligo were to add primary, second and third level centres of Ursuline education.
