Protestant and Roman Catholic Missionaries

Of the two missionaries that came to the Oregon Country, I believe the Roman Catholic missionary was the most successful.  According to Dale A. Lambert the Roman Catholic missions traveled among the Native American tribes instead of making them live in the area.  They also made their church services attractive to the Native Americans.  The Roman Catholic Missionaries didn't encourage people to immigrate into the region either, and their teaching methods were easier for the Natives to understand.  That is why the Roman Catholics were the most successful.
