St. Voršily Monastery?[edit]

This source seems to indicate to me that the monastery was called St. Voršily and within that complex there existed the Church of St. Catherine.[1] This seems to be supported by references to a "dívčí učitelský ústav v klášteře Voršilek v Olomouci" (Girls' Teaching Institute in the Voršily Monastery in Olomouc) which was operating in the 1880s.p=72 Can someone with more familiarity clarify what is accurate?

Voršila is Czech for Ursula. I would translate "klášter voršilek" as "Ursuline monastery", and "kostel svaté Kateřiny" as "church of St. Catherine". The opening of this article is wrong to gloss kostel as "monastery". – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 23:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
