Saint Kateri Tekakwitha




Saint Kateri Tekakwitha is one of seven individuals who were canonized in Rome today. She is the first Native American saint.

Saint Kateri is depicted in this detailed view of the oldest known portrait of her — painted about 16 years after her death — by Jesuit Father Claude Chauchetière, who personally knew her. (CNS Photo, Courtesy of the Cause of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha)
