==Background==
The Ursulines are a Roman Catholic (Christian) religious order founded at Brescia, Italy by Saint Angela de Merici in 1535, primarily for the education of girls and the care of the sick and needy.〔(Fidelis, Mother Mary. "The Ursulines." The Catholic Encyclopedia ) Vol. 15. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 14 Aug. 2015〕 Their patron saint is Saint Ursula.
The Viceroyalty of New France was the area colonized by France in North America starting with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534. The French explorer Samuel de Champlain founded the city of Québec in 1608 among the Algonquin people as the administrative seat for New France. Colonization was slow and difficult. Many settlers died early, because of harsh weather and diseases. In 1630, there were only 103 colonists living in the settlement, but, by 1640, there were 355.
