The University is also affiliated with the religious institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle Christian Brothers).
Brother William Mann, FSC, D.Min, the former Vicar General of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools was named the 13th president of Saint Mary's on December 13, 2007 and began his term on June 1, 2008. Brother William was inaugurated as president on September 26, 2008 at the Winona campus.
Bishop Patrick Richard Heffron founded Saint Mary's College in 1912, a men's college operated by the Winona Diocese. Heffron Hall, a residential hall was built in 1920, and named after Bishop Heffron. By 1925 it became a four-year liberal arts college. In 1933, it was taken over by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, a religious order whose main charism is teaching. It became a co-educational university in 1969 and later purchased the campus and buildings of the former College of Saint Teresa, a women's college in Winona that ceased operations in 1989. In recent years, portions of the Saint Teresa campus were sold to Winona State University and Winona Cotter High School.
