The Documentaries
Walking the Sacred Path: The Story of the Black and Indian Mission Office
A hidden chapter of American faith comes to light as Native Catholics weave ancient tradition and the Gospel into a single, resilient witness—healing old wounds and renewing the Church today.
Through powerful voices and lived witness, Walking the Sacred Path reveals how Native American Catholics have carried their faith through centuries of change — uniting tradition and the Gospel in a story of reconciliation, renewal, and enduring hope.
Trailblazers of Faith: The Legacy of African American Catholics
From barred doors to blessed altars: African American Catholics who built institutions, healed communities, and now walk the road to sainthood.
Trailblazers of Faith tells the extraordinary story of Black Catholics who transformed struggle into witness — building schools, founding communities, and shaping the heart of the American Church.

Why these Stories Matter
For over 140 years, the Black and Indian Mission Office has walked with Native and African American Catholic communities, supporting schools, ministries, and leaders who live out the Gospel in the richness of their cultures.
These documentaries reveal how two distinct journeys share one mission: to heal the past, celebrate identity, and renew the Church today.
