Background
St. Mary's School was founded in 1900 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, who at the time were based in Buffalo, New York, but would soon move to Stella Niagara in nearby Lewiston, New York. During this period, the sisters were active in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Colorado. In 1886 they went to Dakota Territory to begin mission work to the Lakota in what would later become South Dakota. They turned their attention to children, coming to O'Neill in 1900. In 1908 they were invited to teach at St. Agnes Academy in Alliance, Nebraska.[3]
