St. Francis Mission

I've featured the St. Francis Mission here before, but it's been a while so here's some basic info.

St. Francis is a ministry of the of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) among the 20,000 Lakota people on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in south-central South Dakota. The Mission is a not for profit organization founding in 1886, whose mission is to serve the spiritual, educational, and physical needs of Lakota Catholics and those who are un-churched on the reservation.

We have many programs ongoing at the mission – schools, recovery, religious education, a radio station and a museum. Right now, I’m looking for individuals who may be interested in sharing information about the St. Francis Mission and our programs with their readers/listeners. We have a blog and website. We also have a radio station, KINI Radio.

They are asking for prayers during Lent and Easter, as well as providing a more tangible way to assist through their April online donation campaign.

It is something that is worth considering for your Lenten almsgiving and beyond. This is a place where the need is ongoing right here in the United States. Drop by and take a look around.
