Best Answer

Between the Catholic trappers who were the first Europeans into the Pacific Northwest, and the Catholic explorers from the South, there were priests, nuns, and many Catholics in the 18th century in the Pacific Northwest, and the Hudson Bay Company specifically sent priest in as early as the 1830's. One reason for their success might well have been the absence of protestants who were mainly concentrated along the east coast of the United States. Basically your question is the basis for a whole term paper, and WikiAnswers is not here to do research for you. If you Google this you are going to find many good sources of material, but you are going to have to read them for yourself.

What religion did the friars bring to the mission and the native American tribe living at the missions?

The friars were Catholic, and so were the missions they founded. But there were a number of different kinds of Christian denominations that sent missionaries to the "new world." Back then, Christians believed the Native Americans (or Indians) were practicing a false religion and that they needed to be converted to Christianity. Catholic and Protestant missionaries were very active in preaching to the natives and either persuading them or forcing them to become Christians.


How do you introduce a missionary?

It depends on the church the missionary comes from. You'll have to ask the missionary what their title is. Some missionaries are refered to as brother, sister, elder, pastor, etc. When in doubt, address male missionaries as 'brother so-and-so' and female missionaries 'sister so-and-so'.

What do Christian missionaries need in order to be successful in spreading Christianity across Europe?

Christian missionaries need to understand why Christianity is failing right across Europe. Modern Europeans are better educated and less gullible than in earlier times. More and more people recognise that there really is no God and therefore no reason to worip him. Christian missionaries need to counter this by providing indisputable evidence for the existence of God. Unfortunately, the best minds in the Christian world have sought to prove God's existence for almost two thousand years but so far have failed to do so.
