U.S. BISHOPS TO ASK HOLY
SEE TO CANONISE SAINTLY
INDIAN GIRL.
A resolution to be expressed to the
Holy See, and voicing the hopes of the
Bishops, priests and people of the U.S.
for the canonisation of Catherine Te-
kakwitha, was adopted at a meeting
of the U.S. Bishops recently.
Catherine Tekakwitha, an Indian
maiden, was born in 1656 in the Mohawk
Valley; her mother was a Christian,
but died when Catherine was four
years old. Owing to the lack of missionaries
where she was born, Catherine
was not baptized until she was
twenty.
Her purity of heart and constancy of
will caused her to be greatly admired
by her people, and she died when she
was twenty-eight, after an extraordinarily
holy life.
