They established some mission centers but were stubbornly resised by the Paez. After centuries of comparatively meager results, from the missionaries' point of view, the task was taken up by the Lazarists. These missionaries began to work among the Paez in 1905. They learned the Paez language and still maintain missions among them. The result today is a rather unique blend of Paez religious customs and beliefs and important aspects of Catholicism. Currently, the Paez still maintain their own shamans. Some Paez Indians have also become Catholic priests. Since the 1930s there have been organized groups of evangelical Protestants among the Paez.
