Father Baraga was a Slovenian Catholic Missionary who lived and worked mainly with the Ojibwe and Ottawa Natives from 1831 to 1868 in the regions of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.  He became Bishop in the year of 1863.  He was known for his zeal and compassion for the Ojibwe during a time when they were being pressured for removal, when the fur traders were working against them and when settlers were pressing in on their regions.  

Father Baraga left a legacy of care and concern for all to follow.  Confirming over 1,000 persons into the Catholic Faith he became known as the snowshoe priest due to his ability to travel hundreds of miles by snowshoe to be there for one another when they were in need. He has been declared Venerable and Rome is investigating his miracles. More details about Bishop Baraga can be found at www.bishopbaraga.org.
