DescriptionUrsuline Convent - St Peters Mission - near Cascade Montana - c 1892.jpg
English: The Ursuline Convent and Girls' School at St. Peter's Mission near Cascade, Montana, in the United States, in 1892 shortly after its completion.
St. Peter's was founded by priests belonging to the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), a Roman Catholic men's religious order. It was established at Bird Tail Rock in 1871 after several previous locations were abandoned. Ursuline nuns joined the mission in October 1884 to assist in running the mission and teaching Native American children.
In 1884, the mission consisted of two log buildings -- a chapel with a bell tower connected to a common sleeping area for priests, and a lower structure which consisted of a sleeping area for nuns and a kitchen. The cornerstone for the stone convent was laid on September 9, 1888, and the structure occupied on January 1, 1892. It burned to the ground in 1918.
