Mount Providence School, Normandy, MO.

Mount Providence School, Normandy, MO. Mount Providence School for Boys
opened in January, 1933. In 1930, the St. Louis Province of the Sisters of Divine Providence was established, with Mother M.

Rosalia Weaver
as Provincial. The congregation was formally welcomed into the Archdiocese of St. Louis by Archbishop John J. Glennon, who shared the Sisters' objective of establishing a boarding school for boys. In 1932, the community
purchased an estate in Normandy, Missouri that would become Mount Providence, and serve as both the provincial
Motherhouse and the boarding school for boys in kinder

garten through grade 8. It would quickly grow to a complex of three dormitories, nine-8classrooms, three cafeterias,
a library, recreation area, craft room, band room, music room, guest rooms and reception rooms. More importantly, it
would educate young boys-and beginning in 1988, girls as well-with a maximum enrollment of more than 300
students. At different points in its history Mount Providence would also be the home of an eldercare facility, a day
care, and Catholic Chariies' Villa Maria, a shelter for pregnant women and their children. It was determined in the early 1990s that the St. Louis Province could no longer afford to maintain Mount Providence. The property was sold to the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1995, and Mount Providence School closed the
following year. The Sisters moved out of the Motherhouse in 1997. In February 2001, the buildings were imploded to
make way for the redirecion of a dangerous stretch of Interstate 70.
