Indian Mission

We are very grateful for the Black and Indian Mission Grant which enabled us to bring Sister Kateri Mitchell to Lakewood, Co. for our Lenten Retreat. The participants in the Retreat were very comfortable and pleased.

On May 17, 2019, the Native American Ministry Office held its 6th Annual Pueblo Governors’ Lunch. Every year, we look forward to hosting this event.

The grant funds were used for two major purposes. First, to purchase the educational items needed, such as workbooks, reading materials, prayer cards, and other items that the Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Deacon used when they were making home visits.

In the tradition of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, who opened schools for poor boys in seventeenth-century France, De La Salle Blackfeet School (DLSBS) fulfills the Lasallian mission to provide a “quality, innovative, faith-based education”.

The Black & Indian Grant has helped St. Anthony of Mandaree to provided many different opportunities for our students.
