Native American, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, to Celebrate 10 Years of Canonization | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church, and tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of her canonization. Known as the Lilly of the Mohawks, she was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI and was beatified by Saint John Paul II. Tomorrow in honor of the 10th anniversary, a special Mass will be held at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington DC. Executive Director of the Black and Indian Mission Office, Fr. Maurice Henry Sands, will give the homily at the Mass. St. Kateri only spent 24 years on this earth, but she had quite the life. Fr. Maurice tells us more about her. He discusses the Mass tomorrow where he will give the homily and gives us a preview of what he will say. The event that will begin tomorrow at the St. John Paul II Shrine will lead to his feast day on Saturday. Fr. Maurice shares more about this.
