Gregory XIII., at the instance of See also:Charles See also:Borromeo, declared it a religious order under the See also:rule of St See also:Augustine. In the following See also:century it was powerfully encouraged and supported by St See also:Francis of Sales. In most cases, especially in See also:France, the sisters adopted enclosure and took See also:solemn vows; they were called the " religious " Ursulines as distinct from the " congregated " Ursulines,. who preferred to follow the See also:original See also:plan. There were Ursulines in See also:Canada in 1639, who taught the See also:catechism to See also:Indian See also:children, and subsequently helped to preserve a religious spirit among the See also:French See also:population and to humanize the See also:Indians and See also:half-breeds. Towards the beginning of the 18th century, the See also:period of its greatest prosperity, the order embraced some 20 congregations, with 350 convents and from 15,000 to 20,000 nuns.
