Born in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, in present-day New York State, St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80) and her family contracted smallpox in an epidemic; she was the only one of the family to survive, but had scarring on her face. She was influenced by French Jesuit missionaries and converted to Catholicism at age 19. After taking a vow of perpetual virginity, she left her village, and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later on April 17th, respected for her piety and good works. She was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II, and canonized by Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peter's Basilica on 21 October 2012. Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, known as the "Lily of the Mohawks," is the first recognized Indigenous North American saint. Her feast day is April 17 in Canada and July 14 in the United States. She is the patron saint of ecology, the environment, and Native American people. Part 1 of 3. HJe295.
