1843 CE

The Osage ask the federal government in 1843 to send "Black Robes", Jesuit missionaries to educate their children; the Osage consider the Jesuits better able to work with their culture than the Protestant missionaries.

The Jesuits also establish a girls' school operated by the Sisters of Loretto from Kentucky.

During a thirty-five-year period, most of the missionaries will be new recruits from Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium.

They will teach, establish more than one hundred mission stations, build churches, and create the longest-running school system in Kansas.
