Scope and Contents

Little is known about the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago's time in Cortez, Colorado. Sr. Mary Cornella taught out of St. Margaret Mary Church for one summer in the 19th century, although it is unknown when, where, or how many pupils she had. The sub-series contains a fragment of an article from The Southern Colorado Register regarding a mission in Towaoc, Coloado, primarily for use by the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.
