Summary:This article analyzes the strategies used by the Missionaries of Mary Immaculate and St. Catherine of Siena to evangelize the Catio Indians of western Antioquia during the initial formative period of the missionary congregation (1914-1925). The article portrays the internal logic of the missions and shows the particular characteristics of the methods used by these missionaries. Delving into how imaginaries and representations of the world intersect within evangelization processes, the text shows how these are not unidirectional but, rather, processes of struggle, acceptance and resistance. In short, they are processes in which both the missionary and the indigenous groups learn how to benefit from each other by adapting, learning and deciding what to value as their own and what to accept from that very other. Adapted from the source document.
