About St. Kateri Tekakwitha
Born in 1656 in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, Kateri Tekakwitha survived a smallpox epidemic that scarred her face and claimed her family. At 19, she converted to Catholicism, taking the name Kateri in honor of St. Catherine of Siena.
Renouncing marriage, she took a vow of perpetual virginity and devoted her life to prayer, penance, and faith at the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake near Montreal. At her death in 1680, witnesses testified that her scarred face became miraculously radiant.
Canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, she is honored as the first Native American saint and is revered for her purity, sacrifice, and steadfast faith in the face of hardship.
