History: St. Eugene de Mazenod founded the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in France, 1816, with its members self-identifying with the post-nominal initials, “O.M.I.” After making their first Canadian foundation, 1841, Canadian Oblates of the Assumption Province administered these Native American missions in Minnesota and North Dakota:

1861-1870s (no longer Native)	Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church (Ojibwa, Métis), Pembina, North Dakota/ Dakota Territory
1927-1957 (transferred to U.S. Central Province)	Immaculate Conception Mission (Ojibwa), Nett Lake, Net Lake Reservation, Minnesota
