Lily of the Mohawks - Catholics to Declare woman a Saint

Canada will get its first Aboriginal saint.

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawa:ke (MCK) wishes to congratulate the members of Kahnawa:ke's Catholic community on the announcement that Kateri Tekakwi:tha has been named by the Vatican for canonization. Upon her canonization, she will be declared a saint.

"Kateri has been an inspiration for generations of people – not only in Kahnawa:ke, but across North America," said Grand Chief Michael Ahrihron Delisle, Jr. "It's been over 35 years since her Beatification, so the patience of the faithful has been rewarded. Special congratulations to Deacon Ron Boyer, who has been instrumental in her canonization."

A sizeable contingent of people from Kahnawa:ke made the trip to the Vatican to witness Kateri's Beautification ceremony in June 1980.

The date for the canonization ceremony to be held in the Vatican, has not yet been announced.
