Our Priory was originally the Convent of Saint Rose of Lima Roman Catholic parish. The first sisters were Ursulines from 1929 to 1945 and Sisters of Saint Joseph from 1945 - 1970 (the last graduating class of the parish school).

The Sisters of Saint Joseph assumed responsibility for the school in 1945, while the Ursulines had arrived before the convent was built in 1929.
