Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American woman to soon become a saint




The following excerpt is from RomeReports.com:

The first canonization of a Native American woman has been approved. Her name is Kateri Tekakwitha, but she's also known as “Lily of the Mohawks” and the patroness of American Indians. Last December, Benedict XVI cleared the way for her canonization, after a miracle was attributed to her.

The case deals with a young boy from Washington State, who was hospitalized for several months, after being diagnosed with a flesh eating disease. His case was serious, until his parish priest, asked his family and their parish to pray for the intercession of Kateri. Soon after, the family says, the boy began to heal without any medical explanation.

All are Welcome to Join in Prayer for God's Spiritual Blessings at St. Mary's Church on January 19, 2012

Please consider visiting St. Mary's Catholic Church for Mass and prayer services.

St. Mary's holds a monthly service for prayer with Fr. Richard Tartaglia including special prayer intentions which are submitted through the website of www.Christian-Miracles.com.

Previous services have included prayer for Christian Unity. However, prayers for world peace are always included.

The next prayer service is scheduled for Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 7:30 PM (EST).  The prayer service is held every third Thursday of each month with a new theme. January will focus on Life and the Unborn.

St. Mary's Church is located on 15 Myers Avenue, Denville, New Jersey.

There is great power through the Holy Spirit when people join together in agreement while praying for God’s help and intervention. However, if you cannot attend, you can still join in with your own special prayer intentions with St. Mary's Church between the hours of 7:30-8:00 PM on January 19th.

Prayer requests can posted directly on www.Christian-Miracles.com at the following link:
