The St Ignatius Mission was built in 1854. The walls and ceilings of this Catholic church are notable for the 58 original paintings by Brother Joseph Carignano that cover them. The Mission Mountain Range is a beautiful backdrop behind the church, which is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Two special murals are the Salish Lord and Lord's mother in Native American form, which are located in the back of the Mission. There is a gift shop and museum connected to the church, which sells Indian artifacts and religious items. The mission is open daily from 9:00 to 8:00 in summer and 9:00 to 5:00 in winter. Admission to the Mission and two smaller historical buildings is free. Donations are accepted. Services are held in the church on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. The Mission is two blocks off Highway 93 and visible from the road.
