In 1884, Holy Rosary Indian Mission was the first to respond to the needs of the Choctaw people. We bought land, built houses, provided tools and seeds, and invited them to come. Little by little, the Choctaw community began to flourish. Much of what is presently known as the Tucker Community and the Pearl River Communities were once “Mission Lands” of our church. When the Government finally recognized the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, the church gave them the land, on the condition that it will always be used for the Choctaw people.
