Franciscan Missions of the Southwest
In 1901 the Society for the Preservation of the Faith among Indian children,
now commonly known as The Preservation Society, was established by the
Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, at Washington, D. C, and in 1902 the
Indian Sentinel, its official organ, was published for the first time. As it
was, however, often scarcely possible for the Catholic Indian Bureau to
raise even sufficient funds for the Missions and schools which are entirely
dependent upon it for their maintenance, our own Mission could not hope for
material assistance from this Bureau which itself is struggling for the very
existence of its many schools.
