Catholic mission
Religious colonial establishment
A Catholic mission is an outpost established by the Roman Catholic Church to spread Christianity, typically in areas considered non-Christian or underserved.
Historically, missions combined religious conversion with education, healthcare, and sometimes colonial administration: the Spanish missions of California.
The term also refers to the broader evangelical work itself: She devoted her life to Catholic mission in Southeast Asia.
