Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Tekakwitha was born in 1656 in Ossernenon, a Mohawk village in upper New York, where Isaac Jogues met his death. Her mother was a devout Catholic of the Algonquin nation but had been taken captive in a war with the Mohawks. Tekakwitha’s father was a Mohawk chief. When a smallpox epidemic wiped out most of her people, including both her parents as well as her brother, Tekakwitha survived with very bad eyesight and a scarred body. Though her mother was Catholic, Tekakwitha had never been baptized. Now, orphaned at age 4, she was adopted by her father’s family, who hated the Jesuit missionaries. But after a peace treaty allowed the Jesuits to preach in the Mohawk villages, Tekakwitha met with them in secret and at the age of 20 was baptized and given the name Kateri, for Catherine. Kateri cherished time spent in the woods walking and kneeling for hours in prayer. But she was harshly punished for refusing to work on Sundays and for refusing to marry. Punitive beatings, continual criticism, and mockery were constant. In 1677, seeing her perseverance and fortitude, one of the Jesuits decided to send her away to Kahnawake in Quebec, where there was a large community of Christian aboriginal people. There she was able to express and deepen her faith freely. Kateri lived a life dedicated to care for the sick and aged, prayer, and severe penitential practices. When Kateri visited Montreal she witnessed Marguerite Bourgeoys and her companions working and living in a convent. On her return, Kateri, along with a widowed companion, tried to convince the priest to open a convent in the village. Finally, in 1679 she was allowed to begin a small convent at the mission. However, in the spring of 1680, Kateri’s health deteriorated rapidly. Her pain soon became so great that she was not able to move. When she died at the age of 24, her last words were “Jesus and Mary.” Those at her side said that as they watched all the scars on her body disappeared and her disfigured face and skin shined. Kateri was the first of the aboriginal people of North America to be beatified. She is invoked as patroness of the environment and ecology. In Canada, she is remembered each year on April 17, and in the United States on July 14.
