They were asked to do so by the Canadian bishops. The Native Americans also used books prepared by Slovenian missionaries. The aim was to establish contacts at the level of the development of religious life, the creation of church structures, and the incorporation into the life of the Native American tribes of elements which the missionaries understood as an expression of the improvement of their living conditions and the assertion of their rights as an ethnic community. The contribution of Slovenian missionaries is still commemorated today in some cultural and religious monuments and printed material, as well as in commemorative eventsSlovenski misijonarji, ki so delovali v Združenih državah Amerike, so zaradi poznanja indijanskih jezikov prevzemali misijonske naloge tudi med indijanskimi plemeni v kanadski provinci Ontario. Za to so jih prosili kanadskiškofje. Indijanci so uporabljali knjige, ki so jih pripravili slovenski misijonarji. Šlo je za vzpostavljanje stikov na ravni razvoja verskega življenja, ustvarjanja cerkvenih struktur in vključevanja v življenje indijanskih plemen elementov, ki so jih misijonarji razumevali kot izraz izboljševanja njihovih življenjskih razmer in uveljavljanja pravic kot etnične skupnosti.
