We express our gratitude to Bishop Mark Seitz and his Diocesan Staff for the role each one played to prepare and host the 74th Annual Tekakwitha Conference. To our brothers and sisters of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo with their warm, friendly hospitality and tireless efforts that led us to truly Celebrate Faith, Culture and Tradition, we say “Thank You.” Another ‘Thanks’ to volunteers from Region 4 Kateri Circles and helpers from other Regions who are always ready to assist in the Registration and Conference Sales areas each year. During the Regional Meetings, participants focused on furthering the Vision and Mission Statements of the Tekakwitha Conference and discussed ways the Vision and Mission could be carried out by the Goals recently revised by the Board Members. As we journey toward the closing of the Year of Faith, how will you move forward faithfully and creatively to seek new ways and opportunities to be more effective evangelizers in your daily lives? Which of the Tekakwitha Conference goals will you personally choose? Which goal will your Kateri Circle and/or prayer group focus for a deeper faith experience this year? You are encouraged to review the goals listed below and the Spirit will guide and lead you to new spiritual horizons... May your days be filled with God’s blessings. In Saint Kateri Tekakwith we pray, Sister Kateri Mitchell Vision Statement: The voice, presence and Identity of Indigenous Catholics of North America. Mission Statement: We, as members of the Tekakwitha Conference, inspired by Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, renew our faith and reaffirm our baptismal call as followers of Jesus by living the Gospel message.

Properties have been assessed in all of these suggested states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, New York, and more recently Louisiana, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Some of these property owners were interested in renting/leasing and others in selling. The Board approved that we should look for a ‘permanent home’ for our new Saint’s National Tekakwitha Office and purchase a suitable and affordable property that can serve as a new office owned by the Conference. T he property most practical for a small business like ours, affordable for purchase was one located in Alexandria, Louisiana. T he time frame for closing the office in Great Falls after 34 years is at the end of October 2013 and projected travel to Alexandria around November 1st or 2nd. During October there will be packing and the many details involved when such a move takes place. Therefore, the Great Falls office will be closed for business from October 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013. You will be notified when the new Saint Kateri Tekakwitha home in Alexandria will be ready for our usual day-to-day business hours via e-mail sometime in late November 2013. T he new office mailing address after November 1, 2013 is: 2225 North Bolton Avenue, Alexandria, Louisiana 71301. We will keep our same e-mail and website addresses. The phone and fax numbers will change. I ask for your prayers and consideration as we begin the monumental tasks of packing and moving. The Board and I thank you for your continued support, and pray Saint Kateri guide us as we relocate. God’s blessings to all through the intercession of Saint Kateri, Sister Kateri For all that has been we give thanks. After 34 years at 1800 9th Avenue South in Great Falls, Montana, the Tekakwitha Conference National Office will be relocating to 2225 North Bolton Avenue in Alexandria, Louisiana on October 31, 2013. Various Tekakwitha Conference Board of Directors began to contemplate a new home for this national office for the last twelve years. A new home for our patroness’ national center has now been found in the South. On behalf of the Tekakwitha Conference membership, I want to express sincerest gratitude to the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings, Montana. Firstly, to the late Bishop Murphy who offered office space rent free to establish the first headquarters for a Tekakwitha Conference National Center at the Villa Housing units at 1800 9th Avenue South. Subsequently, Bishop Anthony Milone continued to support this endeavor who now is enjoying his retirement in his home state of Nebraska. Since then, Bishop Michael Warfel was named Ordinary to this Diocese of Eastern Montana and he has even come to the office to ‘break bread with us’. He dined with staff and even enjoyed some “homemade Mohawk corn soup”. For the many ways the diocesan staff has reached out to the Tekakwitha Conference staff since 1979, we are most grateful. For all the friendships we have made in and around the Diocese and in the City of Great Falls, we bid farewell and ask God to continue to bless each and everyone. As we say, “thank you, so long,” may God bless you in your faith journey and ask for your prayers as we move to another state. We look forward to a “future filled with hope” as we carry on our mission of evangelization in a new home for the Tekakwitha Conference National Office in Alexandria, Louisiana. With gratitude in Christ through the intercession of Saint Kateri, Sister Kateri Mitchell Executive Director 3 OCTOBER-NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2013 4 Saint Kateri Prayer By: Harold Caldwell O Saint Kateri, Lily of the Mohawks, Your love for Jesus, so strong, so steadfast, grant that we may become like you. Your short and painful life showed us your strength and humility. Grant that we may become forever humble like you. Like the bright and shining stars at night, we pray that your light may forever shine down upon us, giving light, hope, peacefulness and serenity in our darkest moments. Fill our hearts, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha with your same love for Jesus and grant us your strength and courage to become one like you in Heaven. Amen. Saint Kateri Walk With Us Grandfather, Great Spirit, look at our brokenness. We know that in all creation only the human family has strayed from the Sacred Way. We know that we are the ones who are divided and we are the ones who must come back together to walk in the Sacred Way. Grandfather, Sacred One, teach us love, compassion, and honor, so we may heal the earth and heal each other.

In celebration, the missionaries build the first Russian Orthodox Church in the western hemisphere: Holy Resurrection on Kodiak Island Alaska. They installed a specially made 300 pound bell in the Church. Then quite mysteriously, the bell made its way to the Roman Catholic Mission Church of San Fernando Rio de España, north of Los Angeles in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 1948. In 1988 Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles gave permission for the bell to be loaned back to the Orthodox Church of Alaska to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of Russian Orthodoxy. However, the bell did not travel to Alaska, the loan was never completed. The history of the San Fernando bell was revealed during the cooperative research conducted by Father Ray Bucko, SJ and an historian of the Russian Orthodox Church. When the story came to light, the Archdioceses of Los Angeles decided to return the bell to the Native Orthodox Peoples of North America as a sign of unity, and of the continuing reconciliation between the two Faiths. Father Bucko, a good friend of the Native People, chose the 74th Tekakwitha Conference to return the bell to its original home of Kodiak Island. Father Ray believed the Conference would be an ideal place to hold the ceremony because of the significant representation of Native Catholics in the Tekakwitha Conference. So, accompanied by a drum roll by the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo drummers, Archbishop Chaput presented a picture of the bell to His Excellency Archbishop Benjamin of the Russian Orthodox Church, symbolically returning the bell to its first home. The actual bell has since been returned to Kodiak Island, flown there by Alaska Airlines and now resides with the Native Peoples of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Mass will be at the Shrine in Fonda. Dinner and overnight stay in Albany. Saturday, September 13, 2014 After breakfast in the hotel, you will depart for Trois Rivieres, stopping in Kahnawake for a visit of the tomb of Saint Kateri before arriving at the Shrine of Notre-Dame-du-Cape where Mass will be celebrated. Moving on to the shores of the St. Lawrence River, you will find Cape de la Madeleine, a place of peace and tranquility, serenity and beauty and a history going back to 1634. Jesuit Missionaries served the settlers of the new village here, building a little timber chapel in 1659. Five years later it would become the first of Canada’s Catholic churches to be dedicated as a Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. Overnight stay in Mason de la Madone (or similar). Sunday, September 14, 2014 After breakfast in the hotel, you will head for the Shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre’ where Mass will be celebrated in her basilica. On the guided tour of the basilica, you will see a depiction of St. Anne, known as the Statue of Miracles, where pilgrims place their prayers of petition at its base.

From your headphones, you will hear a captivating story narrated by the church’s architect. Overnight stay in Montreal. Tuesday, September 16, 2014 After breakfast in the hotel, you will visit St. Joseph Oratory, the largest in Canada, where Mass will be celebrated. The Oratory's dome is the third-largest of its kind in the world after the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in the Ivory Coast, and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. In 1904, St. André Bessette began construction of a small chapel on the side of the mountain near Notre Dame College which later grew into a larger church. But, because of the number of visitors it received, a yet larger church was needed and completed in 1917. By 1967, the basilica was completed. A reliquary in the church museum contains St. André's heart, which he requested be given as a protection for the basilica. Your afternoon is at leisure. Do not miss the famous botanic garden. Overnight stay in your hotel.
