Saint Kateri Tekawitha
Our Patron Saint, St. Kateri Tekawitha, 1656-1680, was an Indigenous lay woman who converted to Catholicism at the age of 19. Known as the Lily of the Mohawks, she is an inspiration for her humility, faith and devotion.
A number of miracles have been attributed to her, and there are several shrines devoted to her across the United States and Canada. In 2012 she was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI.
