Saints for Children: Blessed Kateri and the Cross in the Forest is the story of the first Native American to be named Blessed. Born into the Mohawk tribe in what is now New York state, she suffered tremendously in her 24 short years. Smallpox ravaged her village, taking the lives of her parents and brother, and leaving her weakened and disabled. While always appreciating the spirituality of her Mohawk people, Kateri continued to deepen her relationship with Jesus. In 1980, the Church beatified Kateri and -- using both her Christian and Mohawk names -- this humble, extraordinary young woman became "Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha." Now you and your family can learn more about her remarkable life in this distinctive new children's book from Our Sunday Visitor.Neuberger, Anne E. is the author of 'Blessed Kateri and the Cross in the Forest', published 2003 under ISBN 9780613804639 and ISBN 0613804635.
