The Black and Indian Missions Collection embodies the Church’s concern for evangelizing the black and Indian people of the United States. The funds are distributed as grants to dioceses throughout the United States, supporting and strengthening evangelization programs which otherwise would cease. Your heartfelt participation in the Black and Indian Missions Collection allows the Commission to give helpful grants to dioceses across the country to operate schools, parishes and other missionary services that build the Body of Christ in Native American, Alaska Native and Black Catholic communities.
