Tiny Belcourt, North Dakota, lies near the Canadian border, in the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. Home to about 2,000 residents, it’s the site of St. Ann’s Indian Mission, which has served the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and Metis Indians since 1885. 

It’s also the home of missionary volunteers from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT), which staffs three parishes in the Belcourt area, as well as missions throughout the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

USCMA caught up with four SOLT missionary volunteers enroute to Corpus Christi, Texas, to the annual SOLT assembly, a gathering of laity, priests, sisters, and brothers the week of their Foundation Day, July 16. It’s a 1,600-mile drive that took them several days and included at least one speeding ticket!

USCMA receives complimentary books about missiology, theology, and spirituality for review.

Our current feature book is Voice of the Voiceless by Saint Oscar Romero. This is his four pastoral letters, and other material, with reflections by Jon Sobrino and Ignacio Martin-Baro. For this book or a current listing, email Nichole Petty, USCMA Office Manager.
