Conference Centre, Retreat, and Preschool
Welcome to the Ursuline Retreat & Conference Centre!
The heart of our mission is simple. We provide a setting and atmosphere for spiritual and intellectual growth and renewal.
The Ursuline Academy opened in 1912 as a school for grades kindergarten through high school, including a boarding school for girls. The Collegiate Gothic building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Today, the Centre is owned, operated and cared for by the Ursuline Centre Historical Foundation, and offers an Ursuline-sponsored preschool, a conference and retreat ministry and a museum.
Retreat & Conference Centre
The Retreat and Conference Centre is a gathering place for thousands of people from numerous religious, civic, and non-profit organizations, including Montana Association for the Blind, the Native Catholic community, the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings and the University of Providence. Our guests enjoy our superior food service and the unique ambiance of our historical building.
Ursuline Education
The Preschool gives children a value-based educational background in a Christian environment. Our experienced teachers and nurturing classrooms allow kids to flourish and excel.
Touchstone To Our Past
The Ursuline Heritage Museum tells the story of the Ursuline Sisters who came to Montana in 1884 as missionaries to the Native Americans and white settlers. Tours of the Museum and historic rooms are available by appointment.
