Indian Mission

This past year a historical blessing fell upon the local indigenous tribes of the Archdiocese.

Children are our future and a Catholic education provides the excellent academic preparation needed to excel in today’s world.

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.
