 Dear Friends:
The Ursuline Centre opened its doors in 1912 to 151 students, boys
and girls in Kindergarten to 8th grade and girls only for High School.
The site was located on top of a knoll overlooking the Missouri River
and 4 mountain ranges. Today, the Academy serves as a memorial to
the group of Ursuline Sisters teaching order, who influenced many
young lives and helped shape the history of Montana.
We have experienced a transformation from being solely an educational
institution to our present function as a Retreat and Meeting Center,
home for 10 Sisters, museum of Antiques and Indian Artifacts, but
still providing learning opportunities for 64 students through a Child
Care, Pre-School and Kindergarten. The west wing on the 3rd and 4th
floors that once housed boarders has been converted into overnight
accommodations for up to 95 guests per night. The Ursuline prides
itself in being an Ecumenical facility that reaches out to all God's
people no matter the religious affiliation.
The Ursuline Centre, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, serves as a reminder of earlier days but has changed with time to provide for the spiritual and educational needs of the people of Montana and the Northwest.
Kindly yours,
Harry Tholen
Director
