]]>Interior of the St. Ignatius Catholic Mission Church

The fabulous murals in this church were painted by Brother Joseph Carigano, an Italian Jesuit who was the Mission cook for many years. Brother Carigano had no formal training in art.

At the behest of Salish American Indians, Father DeSmet, a Catholic Missionary, established the St. Ignatius Mission in 1854.

The construction of the current building was started in 1891.

The St. Ignatius Church is in need of repairs and constant maintenance. To help preserve and maintain this beautiful, historic and much beloved church, the proceeds of all print sales of the St. Ignatius Catholic Church will be donated to the repair & maintenance fund.

]]>"Stevensville is officially recognized as the first permanent settlement in the state of Montana. Forty-eight years before Montana became the nation’s 41st state, Stevensville was settled by Jesuit Missionaries at the request of the Bitter Root Salish Indians.


Through interactions with Iroquois Indians between 1812 and 1820, the Bitter Root Salish Indians leaned about Christianity and Jesuit Missionaries (blackrobes) that worked with Indian tribes teaching about agriculture, medicine, and religion. Interest in these “blackrobes” grew among the Salish and, in 1831, four young Salish men were dispatched to St. Louis, Missouri to request a “blackrobe” to return with them to their homeland of present day Stevensville. The four Salish men were directed to the home and office of William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) to make their request. At that time Clark was in charge of administering the territory they called home. Through the perils of their trip two of the Indians died at the home of General Clark. The remaining two Salish men secured a visit with St. Louis Bishop Joseph Rosati who assured them that missionaries would be sent to the Bitter Root Valley when funds and missionaries were available in the future.


Again in 1835 and 1837 the Bitter Root Salish dispatched men to St. Louis to request missionaries but to no avail. Finally in 1839 a group of Iroquois and Salish met Father Pierre-Jean DeSmet in Council Bluff, IA. The meeting resulted in Fr. DeSmet promising to fulfill their request for a missionary the following year.


DeSmet arrived in present day Stevensville on September 24, 1841 and called the settlement St. Mary’s. Construction of a chapel immediately began followed by other permanent structures including log cabins and Montana’s first pharmacy."

If you center yourself in the aisle at the St. Ignatius Catholic Church, you are perfectly positioned to appreciate the precise symmestry of the architecture and of the murals. The muralist, Brother Carignano, was untrained but clearly, nonetheless, was well endowed with talent and expertise (and some geometry skills) to achieve such masterful murals so precisely positioned in perfect symmetry.

From this position, one is also well positioned for views of the grain of the wood in the pews, the reflection of the stained-glass windows reflected off the pews, the statuettes, the Stations of the Cross, the Baptismal Font, the podium, the altar, and the teepee for Baby Jesus in this Reservation Mission Church.
