In 1848, he founded St. Clara Academy ( now Dominican University of Illinois), a frontier school for young women. In 1849, he founded the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters. Many remembered Mazzuchelli as a kind and gentlemanly priest. He was able to break down the cultural barriers that existed at the time and appeal to many different ethnic groups. The Irish he ministered to called him "Father Matthew Kelly". He died on February 23, 1864 after contracting an illness from a sick parishioner.
