History lesson
Montana became a territory in 1864
I had some other photos I wanted to share like the outside of the church but I am challenge and can not get them to load correctly.
Visited the St. Ignatius Mission in St. Ignatius, Montana. The catholic church has had a strong influence in Montana especially on Indian reservations. The Jesuit Priest came out to minister to the Native American population shortly after Lewis and Clark made there trip in 1804 -1806
Note the cook who had no formal training did the paintings! There is a church in Missoula, Montana that he also did the painting in. The church has a wonderful feel when you are inside, I imagine on a winter day would feel bright and warm.
