Saint of the Month

Kateri Tekawitha Continued....

Because of her faith she was abused by her aunts, ridiculed by her non-Christian villagers who were willing to have her killed if she did not abandon her new faith. She was forced to flee to Canada. She made her First Communion in1677.

Her Catholic life of only four years was filled with prayers and penances for the conversion of the Mohawk Indian nation. She died on April 17, 1680 and was beatified in 1980, the first American Indian and American lay person, so honored.
