On October 21, 2012, Kateri Tekakwitha was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI, thus becoming the first Native American saint. Who is she? Why did the Church grant her this title now, since she was born in 1656? How can she be a model of faith for us today? These questions and many others are addressed in this intergenerational catechesis, which is an invitation to encounter Saint Kateri, whose life and faith still echo the Gospel today.
