The mission church serves the St. Ignatius parish within the Missoula Deanery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena. [cite web |title= Parishes and Missions: Home |publisher= Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena |url= http://www.diocesehelena.org/parishes/default.htm |accessdate= 2007-08-31]

Architecture

The mission church is a simplified, vernacular example of Gothic revival architecture constructed of bricks made from native clay. The most exceptional feature of the interior are the 58 murals painted by Brother Joseph Carignano, an untrained artist who worked as a cook in the mission.cite web |last= Krause |first= Jan |title= Saint Ignatius Mission |publisher= Lakeshore Country Journal |url= http://www.lakeshorecountryjournal.com/daytrippers/stignatius.html |accessdate= 2007-08-30 ]
