Acfiv Wk MOTHER M. IGNATIUS The feast of the Assumption, 1831, saw the birth of a true pioneer. Catherine Leahy, later to be given the religious name of Mother M. Ignatius, was born August 15, 1831, in County Cork, Ireland. She came to Cleveland in 1851. Three years later she answered Christ's call to the religious life and in April, 1854, she entered the Ursuline Convent, Cleveland. The early days of her religious life were spent in Cleveland and Toledo. On Nov. 10, 1865, Mother Ignatius was sent by Bishop Rappe and Mother Annunciation to become the second superior at the Ursuline Convent, Tiffin. For over twenty years Mother Ignatius, called Our Mother, held this position. At the time of her arrival there were already three schools-St. Joseph's, St. Mary's, and a small girls' academy. Under her direction within a few years a three story building, a study hall and a chapel were erected. In the early days Mother Ignatius performed the duties of superior, school visitor, educator, and mistress of novices. She is known and remembered for her humility, her ability to organize, and especially for all she did to solidify the present Ursuline community. In 1897, after over forty years of service to God in the Ursuline Order, Mother Ignatius was called by God to enter into eternal life. 27
