Every month at our Native American Heritage Mass, more than 50 people gather around the table of the Lord calling upon “Grandfather,” God who Created us, to hear their thanks.
These are the words for THANKS in the Winnebago and Omaha languages. We are grateful to the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions for supporting our religious education and outreach programs.
The St. Francis Mission Youth Group has grown to seventeen young people. With Ben and Jenny Black Bear's guidance they have begun to collaborate with Wiconi Wakan Health and Healing Center.
The SFM Youth group participated in the Youth Parade on August 29, 2021. They took 1st place! The theme was honoring our children, uplifting our children, and cartoon characters.
