Saint Kateri Tekakwitha

By Anonymous -
Hi it's Jahna and I'm back with another post this time it is
about a saint.

In the Tumu hub we have been given a saint to research and
find out information like

  • Date and place of birth
  • Important family information
  • What life was like when they lived
  • What they did that lead them to becoming a Saint
  • How they could inspire people today to follow Jesus
  • How their life ended
  • When they became a Saint
  • When their feast day is
  • What they look like
  • Symbol you could use for them

The saint that chose to do was Kateri Tekakwitha
    Kateri Tekakwitha was the first native American to be
recognised as a Saint by the Catholic Church.
  She was born in 1656 in a Mohawk Village.
Her mother was captured by the Mohawks.
The Mohawks punished her by giving her more work to do
but she did not give in.
At 19 she pledged to only marry Jesus Christ.
On an occasion she burned her hand.
Her name Kateri is the Mohawk form of Catherine which she
took from Saint Catherine of Louisiana.

Sadly she passed away on the 17th of April 1680 because she
was ill.
