Our Vision and Mission
Our Mission
Our Vision
A Lakȟóta Catholic Community prayerfully walking with Jesus through grieving → healing → growing → thriving
Our Focus
From our Lakȟóta lay leadership, parishioners, and Jesuit priests we are present for our community every day, offering support and love and extending the good word of Jesus Christ. And this happens because of the people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation… the laypeople, Jesuits, and sisters who continue to make the commitment to our ministry.
Inculturation
We are a Lakȟóta Catholic community that is to say we are a Catholic community made up of Lakȟóta people within the Oglala Lakȟóta Nation. Therefore we seek to express Jesus and our being Catholic within our Lakȟóta culture, ways of relating, and language.
