Indian Mission

The two tiny Navajo parishes are smack in the middle of the Navajo Nation.

With most villages having lifted pandemic travel restrictions, priests serving rural Alaska were finally able to travel freely between their assigned parishes again.

The famous geological volcanic rock formation called Ship Rock towers over a town by the same name in the northeastern part of the Navajo Nation. In this town, Christ is King over all.

Sports are an integral part of Red Cloud’s holistic approach to education which is rooted in Jesuit and Lakota culture and traditions.

This summer was one of contemplation! 2 priests and a lay person came to the SSC for 5 days of retreat in early June. We held a formal 8-day Ignatian retreat from June 21-29.
