6 November-December 2015 KATERI CIRCLE NEWS

Ft. Defiance, AZ.----At last we have a St. Kateri Tekakwitha statue. Father Gilbert Schneider and Deacon Martin blessed the outdoor on Sunday, October 4, 2015 after Mass at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church. The parishioners and Kateri Circle members processed to the shrine; they prayed the Litany of St. Kateri and closed with the song: “We Sing of One Named Kateri.” All participants were pleased with the ceremony.

Brother John and Ben Laughing constructed the shrine with the design and site selection done by Marie Allen and other Circle members. The plan was to establish the shrine during the Centennial Year of the church.

The Kateri Circle was founded in August 1995 at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. The members meet on a monthly basis, have study time and make an effort to imitate the virtues of St. Kateri. The fund raising done by the members supports the elders; Thanksgiving dinner for jail inmates of the Window Rock/Ft. Defiance areas and the purchase of the statue. The members also support the goals and objectives of the Tekakwitha Conference of North America. In 2012, Tse Ho Tso Kateri Circle contributed to the movie “In Her Footsteps”—the story of St. Kateri.

The presence of the shrine is a reminder of the blessings we receive through St. Kateri.

10 November-December 2015 UPCOMING EVENTS Basic Directions in Native Ministry June 6-13, 2016

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 6, 2016, at 6:00 PM (Mountain Daylight Time) and end on Monday, June 13, 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 6. Please schedule your flight to arrive at Rapid City Regional Airport between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
