St. Augustine Indian Mission School was founded in 1909 by St. Katharine Drexel at the request of the Winnebago People.
March 3rd is recognized as her feast day by the Catholic Church.
In honor of St. Augustine’s being one of the few schools in the United States directly founded by a Saint, who lived and worked on the grounds, we will celebrate Founders’ Week. We will take time to pray for all our elders, staff members, and students who have been connected to St. Augustine’s and made it possible for us to be here today.
