Historical Note
The Association of Native Religious and Clergy was established in 1971 and is comprised of American Indian Catholic clergy and religious from the United States and Canada. Since 1979, its annual gathering has been held nearby and just prior to the annual meeting of the Tekakwitha Conference, which in the 1980s was transformed into an association of native Catholics. Many ANRC members have been active in both organizations.
