Dear Friends of the Tekakwitha Conference,
Many exciting events continue to unfold in 2013. Masses of Thanksgiving to honor our first
Indigenous Saint are still gathering numerous people of many cultures in various locations
throughout the country.
World breaking news at the Vatican resounded in all four corners of the world. A conclave
will be convened in March as the College of Cardinals gather from around the world to elect a new pope. Let
us have special prayers for our church leaders as they discern a new leader for the Universal Church.
We are in the midst of the Lenten Season reminding us that now is the acceptable time for a renewed effort to
follow Jesus on this journey. We have our Saint Kateri as a model to assist us along the way to be able to see
more clearly our purpose as God has deigned for each of us. We are challenged to a commitment of a deeper
understanding of our catholic faith. At the same time we are called to honor our cultural values and beliefs for
a fuller and richer spiritual life within Holy Mother Church.
Joyously, let us live Easter and the Easter Season celebrating many new life experiences with renewed
spirit. May you enjoy Spring and all it offers with its freshness and colorful displays on Mother earth.
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, walk with us.
Sister Kateri Mitchell
Secretary

Center in Plainview, South Dakota. The institute is sponsored by the National Tekakwitha Conference. It will begin on Monday,

the Rapid City airport after lunch.
Airport shuttle service will only be available at these times: pick up ONLY on Monday afternoon, June 18. Please schedule your

speakers involved in catechetic, parish administration, and youth ministry will discuss their work. Although the institute will take
place in a Lakota setting, it will develop basic principles of enculturation that can be used in approaching any culture.
Space is limited. Enrollment will be closed after 22 people who apply have been accepted. The cost for the institute is $800.00.
This includes room ( double occupancy), meals and materials. A $50.00 deposit is required with the application along with a letter
