From The Desk of The Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to
God, for the Lord our God reigns! You have
redeemed us, Christ Jesus by your Blood,
from every tribe, tongue, and nation from all
four directions as your people. You Creator
God are our hope and light on our journey.
We call upon your special servant, Saint
Kateri Tekakwitha to continue to guide us along your sacred path.
There are many events during the joyful seasons of Spring and
Summer - we ask for your inspiration, guidance and protection
especially in all that we are being called to do.
We call upon you to assist us in times of preparation such as: our
76th Annual Tekakwitha Conference as we celebrate 'Saint Kateri
Embraces the Wetlands' in her new home, Alexandria, Louisiana;
those members in each of the 5 Regions praying for the best
candidate to represent their region on the National Board of
Directors; for those first 50 who will be part of a bus pilgrimage
to pray with Pope Francis in Philadelphia along with a pilgrimage
to St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, the National Basilica
of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC and to the
National Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel in Bensalem, PA.
In addition to all of these events there are many family and
community events for giving praise and thanksgiving for a loving
Creator God who continues to bless us.
May you have a blessed spring and summer,
Sister Kateri Mitchell

Prayer Intentions
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
In 1943, Pope Pius XII officially proclaimed that Kateri
Tekakwitha had practiced all Christian virtues to a heroic
degree, thereby granting the title of
“Venerable to the Lily of the Mohawks”.

Basic Directions in Native Ministry
June 1- 8, 2015
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. The institute is sponsored by the National Tekakwitha Conference. It will
begin with supper on Monday, June 1, 2015, at 6:00 PM (Mountain Daylight Time) and end on Monday, June 8, at 11:00 AM, with
departures to the Rapid City airport after lunch.
There will be 31 hours of class work associated with the workshop. Speakers will cover topics that include missiology,
anthropology, liturgy, catechetics, collaborative ministry, Native culture and religion, and principles of recovery using AA. Native
speakers involved in catechetics, 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 inculturation 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. Double occupancy means that you can expect to have a
roommate. Rooms are air-conditioned.
A $50.00 deposit is required with the application along with a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s pastor or supervisor.
The letter must provide information on the applicant’s current or future ministry with Native people. The deposit is non-refundable
after May 1.
Airport shuttle service will only be available at these times: pickup ONLY on Monday afternoon, June 1. Please schedule your
flight to arrive at Rapid City Regional Airport between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The return to the airport is ONLY on Monday,
June 8 (schedule your departing flight no earlier than 1:00 PM). The cost of the round-trip shuttle service – in addition to tuition –
is $50.00, payable in advance or upon arrival at the Center.
