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.

Generally all of the missions mistreated the Native Americans living at the mission or in the area. They were forced to work at misson, not allowed to practice their customs, not allowed to speak their language, and to convert to the Catholic religion. Mass graves have been found at the missions that contain Native American bodies. It was not a good life for the Native Americans.

Missions
Catholics are Christians. In fact, they were the original Christians. Therefore the missions are both Catholic and Christian but that is a redundancy.
Missions are used to convert Native-Americans to Christianity. In the US southwest, Spanish missions were usually devoted to converting Native Americans to Catholicism.

Once they converted the mission Native Americans they taught the Catholic religion. Basically the mission system kept the Native Americans at the missions as slaves. They couldn't leave the mission and historians have found mass graves of Native Americans.
