What happened to the Mount Saint Joseph Girls Academy?
By the time of its centennial in 1974, over 1600 women had attended Mount Saint Joseph Academy, but demands for services were changing. Guided by the advice of Saint Angela Merici, the 16th century founder of the Ursuline Sisters, “to make changes according to the times and needs,” after 109 years of service, Mount Saint Joseph Academy closed in 1983. The Academy building still stands and is being used at the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center. To learn more about the Academy, visit the Alumnae page.
