The convent here went up in 1819 for Rose Philippine Duchesne, who had opened a free school for girls at St. Charles the year before and brought the work to Florissant. The church followed in 1821, the rectory in 1840 and the schoolhouse in 1888, and all four buildings still stand on their original ground. Duchesne was canonized in 1988.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
