2 November-December 2017 TEKAKWITHA CONFERENCE NATIONAL CENTER From The Desk of The Executive Director Dear Friends,

“…Giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.” Ephesians 5:20

We were blessed during our 78th Annual Conference in Rapid City, SD with the many opportunities to pray, learn and share with our brothers and sisters from various locations in North America. For all who made the journey to Crazy Horse Monument and other historical sites, our lives have changed and in many instances deeply touched by the ‘awe-filled’ experiences.

We had a number of celebrations which took place among our Kateri Circles for the 5th Anniversary of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha’s canonization on October 21st. We continue to give thanks to Holy Mother Church for this great gift given to us as North American indigenous people.

Many of our sisters and brothers in Christ in southern Texas, southern Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Mexico and elsewhere have been challenged by Mother Nature since our July gathering. They have been remembered in our hearts and in our prayers for their continued protection. The power of prayer keeps us strong knowing that so many others care. As Tekakwitha Conference members and Kateri Circle members, our hope lies in the concern we have for one another especially in times of uncertainties such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, fires and drought.

From family reunions this summer, we enter the Fall season with the joys of more family gatherings to give thanks to such a generous and loving Creator. Before we even have time to breathe in the freshness of this time of many colors in nature, we find ourselves with great anticipation for the ‘coming of Christ’. Yes, the time of hope and joy as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. He is the bearer and gift of peace and hope that only he can provide.

My wish to each of you is that the Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas seasons be sources of much joy, hope and peace.

4 November-December 2017 We Remember two dedicated friends of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Msgr. Paul Lenz (1925-2017)

Msgr. Paul Lenz, a priest, missionary, vice postulator for the cause of St. Kateri Tekakwitha and head of the Black and Indian Mission Office in Washington, D.C., for 31 years, died May 14. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, a longtime friend of Msgr. Lenz, recalled to the Register, “Msgr. Lenz was a wonderful man who had the interest of Native American and African-American Catholics at the center of his life. I’ve met few people so focused on their life and ministry in such a consistent and persistent way. He was also a very good friend personally, and I will miss him very much. When the history of the Church among Native Americans and African-Americans is written, Msgr. Paul Lenz will play a large and important role in that history.” Msgr. Lenz assumed the directorship July 5, 1976, and moved quickly to build up the annual parish collections, promote the Tekakwitha Conference to encourage evangelization, heighten the awareness of the bishops regarding the important work of the office and foster Native American vocations to the priesthood and religious life. During his tenure, two Native American priests were appointed bishops: Bishop Donald Pelotte, an Abenaki, who became bishop of Gallup, New Mexico, in 1990, and Charles Chaput, a member of the Potawatomi Prairie Band, who was named bishop of Rapid City, South Dakota, in 1988. He subsequently was named archbishop of Denver in 1997 and then shepherd of Philadelphia in 2011. Archbishop Chaput with his Msgr. Lenz was 91 and had been a priest for nearly seven decades. He will be remembered by many good friend Msgr. Lenz at Native Americans. May he rest in peace. the Mass of Thanksgiving in the Vatican. Anne Scheuerman (1927-2017) Anne realized her life's work in her lifetime with the canonization of the first American Indian Saint, Kateri Tekakwitha. Kateri was beatified as Catherine Tekakwitha on June 22, 1980, by Pope John Paul 11. Kateri was declared a saint at the Vatican in Rome in October 21, 2012 where Anne was an official photographer for the publication Cross and Feathers. This was her crowning achievement. There were many more volunteer events for Indians serving for 40 years to the National Tekakwitha Conference Association. Anne M. Scheuerman was recognized in 2011 by that organization for her public service as official press event photographer. Her work is on display at Marquette University Archives. Anne’s last event with some of her friends at Anne resting in peace the Canonization of with her friend St. Kateri Photos compliments of Herman Ray St. Kateri Our Kateri Circles in action CEREMONY IN BEAR, DE

On June 24, 2017 the Journey with the Bear Kateri Circle, had its first Making Relatives and Naming Ceremony. Eight members were adopted into the Native Community and fifteen members were named according to the Cherokee tradition. The ceremony was filled with welcome for our new Native brothers and sisters. Every one of our members displays a great passion for learning, helping, and having a more spiritual connection with our Native Community. Sharon Ward, Representative for the Native American Ministry in the Diocese of Wilmington, and Coordinator of the Circle, along with Gail Rando, Region One Director of the Tekakwitha Conference, performed the Ceremony on the grounds of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Bear, DE. It was truly a day of blessing for all!

6 November-December 2017 Prayers Prayer for the Canonization of Nicholas Black Elk

Grandfather! Great Spirit! Behold us, who stand before you, singing our song of thanksgiving for your beloved servant, Nicholas Black Elk. Faithfully he walked the Sacred Red Road and generously witnessed the Good News of our Lord, Jesus Christ among Native people. Grandfather, we humbly ask you, to hear the prayers we plead through his intercession. We ask Holy Mother Church to recognize his sanctity, by acknowledging his presence among the company of saints and as one to imitate in his zeal for the Gospel. Open our hearts to also recognize the Risen Christ in other cultures and peoples, to the glory and honor of God the Father.

Prayer for the Beatification of the Servants of God Antonio Cuipa and Companions

O God, Father of all nations, you have summoned us to announce the freedom of your children. We thank you for calling your Servants Antonio Cuipa and his companions to proclaim the Catholic faith during the birth of a new nation. May their example of suffering and forgiveness give us the courage to bear witness to Christ in our own time. We also pray that they be counted one day among your saints. Through the intercession of your Sevants, grant us the following grace which we ask from your loving kindness: (here make your request) We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
