March/April - Tekakwitha Conference
Tekakwitha Conference Evangelization for 77 Years 1939-2016 Mark 16:5-7 5 On entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were afraid. 6 He said to them, “Do not be afraid! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He is risen! He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him. 7 But go and tell His disciples and Peter, He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He told you.” Visit us at: http://www.tekconf.org E-mail us at: tekconf@gmail.com Find us on Facebook: http//www.facebook.com/tekconf MARCH-APRIL 2016 VOLUME 34 ISSUE 3 2 MARCH-APRIL 2016 TEKAKWITHA CONFERENCE NATIONAL CENTER NEWS From The Desk of The Executive Director Tekakwitha Conference Board of Directors 2015 - 2016 Dear Friends, God gives us mercy. Let’s show mercy and forgiveness toward others and ourselves. Gail Rando Cherokee Region 1 2nd Term 2015-2018 Chair As numerous as the stars in the sky so is the generosity of God’s mercy and loving kindness in His gifts of forgiveness and healing. Our Lenten pilgrimage continues with much hope because as followers of Christ Jesus who leads us to his passion, to the cross, to the tomb, and on that Easter morn to share in the joy and glory of His Resurrection. Gregory R. Williams Crow Board Appointee Region 5 2014-2016 Vice Chair With renewed mind and spirit our daily journey continues with greater compassion and understanding for our brothers and sisters in Christ. As in past summers, we anticipate our annual St. Kateri Family Reunion in Burlingame to celebrate the 77th Annual Tekakwitha Conference. This year’s theme is ‘Saint Kateri Tekakwitha The Bridge between Our Faith and Our Traditions’. This is a great opportunity for her friends to recognize the many ways she has been instrumental as a young woman of the Gospel to walk with her people for healing and for daily favors. St. Kateri Tekakwitha’s National Tekakwitha Conference has experienced God’s loving kindness through some generous members who have responded to our appeal for monetary assistance to assist us with some monthly expenses and for the purchase of office furnishings. We are most grateful to each of our generous benefactors since the New Year. The 2016 Conference planning has scheduled an off-site visit to Mission Dolores on Saturday afternoon, July 23. Therefore, in this issue of the Cross and Feathers the meal package at the Hyatt will be reduced by one hundred dollars ($100.00). Saturday’s lunch and dinner will be provided by the 2016 Planning Committee. Those who have already paid for the full meal package will receive a refund check from this office for one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the two meals (Saturday lunch and dinner).

At times we can all feel isolated overwhelmed by the issues that we come across on a daily basis. NATSICC, along with the Bishops Commission for relations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics have built a retreat - Reconciliation - with God, with each other and with the Land - as a way to support those working in Indigenous Ministry and to bring the focus back onto their own spiritual wellbeing. Through a process of recollection, formation and spiritual pilgrimage, the retreat will provide delegates with the tools to share their faith and a network of support to strengthen their spirit. Located in Australia’s heart – Alice Springs - the Retreat will take place from 19-21 April 2016. We hope to attract 40 delegates from every State and Territory. Speakers are still being confirmed but include Archbishop Christopher Prowse, Aboriginal Theologian Evelyn Parkin, Bishop Christopher Saunders and more. A pilgrimage to the Spiritual sites in and around Alice Springs will take place on the final day of the retreat. The retreat is open to anyone working in Ministry and Pastoral care with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Aboriginal Retreat in Australia Basic Directions in Native Ministry June 6-13, 2016 Sioux Spiritual Center, Howes, South Dakota A seven-day institute for personnel who are beginning or are wanting to learn more about Native American ministry will be held at the Sioux Spiritual Center in Howes, South Dakota.

Speakers will cover topics that include missiology, anthropology, liturgy, catechetics, collaborative ministry, Native culture and religion, and principles of recovery using AA.

Although the institute will take place in a Lakota setting, it will develop basic principles of inculturation that can be used in approaching any culture. Space is limited.
