History: Founded by St. Benedict in 5th century Italy, the Benedictine Sisters have self-identified with the post-nominal initials, “O.S.B.” The independent North American houses of Benedictine Sisters established the Federation of St. Gertrude the Great (Archives: Yankton, South Dakota), 1922, as a general community, which included five houses engaged in Native American ministry. Benedictine Sisters founded Immaculate Conception Monastery, Ferdinand, Indiana, 1867. They had taught at the following Catholic schools, which served Native American students in North Dakota.
