Annunciation
Monastery's roots originate in the days of Dakota Territory when
Bismarck was a rowdy frontier town with cowboys and
soldiers. Immigrant families lived in one-story
shanties. Riverboats navigated the Missouri River, which is where the
railroad ended. In 1878, two years after the Battle of the
Little Big Horn, four
Benedictine sisters from St. Benedict's Convent, St. Joseph, MN
trekked across the prairie to open a school.

They established
St. Mary's Boarding School. All students were welcomed no matter
of their faith tradition. The sisters brought with them, not
only book learning, but culture, and religion.
