The Institute started in 1989 to empower Native Americans to minister to their own people and continue their catholic identity. The institutes training deals with alcohol/dysfnctional families and enriches the Catholic Tradition through the gifts of Native American Culture.

In 1888, Holy Rosary became the first Catholic Indian Mission on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The school later honored the name of this great Lakota leader, becoming Red Cloud Indian School. For more than a century, Red Cloud Indian School has sought to give the Lakota students the skills they need to compete in a larger society while retaining the traditional values of their Lakota heritage.

RMM ministers to Native American Peoples in parishes throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana and through the Kateri NW Ministry Institute. Its goal is to promote understanding respect, and cooperation among all of the spiritual ways alive among the Indian Peoples living both on and off the reservations.

A K-12 school, funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the school addresses the needs of the St. Stephens community. St. Stephens Indian School's goal is to provide a challenging and supportive learning environment for all students. This will be accomplished in a safe and orderly environment for students and staff. It is the school's hope that St. Stephens staff, parents, students and interested community members will work together toward this goal.
