I pray one day soon the Holy Father will accept the third miracle in behalf of Kateri and that she will be proclaimed a saint. Since she is the patroness of ecology perhaps she will join our Brother Francis as we celebrate his feastday on October 4th. God Bless You! The name of our parish is Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha.
