Our History
In 1920, the first Catholic church of Porcupine was built across from a tiny general store in the village. In 1929, after the former mission chapel was converted into a schoolhouse, Our Lady of Lourdes grade school was founded by the “Blue Nuns” (the Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary). The Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary ran the school for six years, but were later called back to their hometown of Cleveland.
