Tekakwitha Conference

Board of Directors

2015 - 2016 Dear Friends,

God gives us mercy. Let’s show mercy and forgiveness toward others and ourselves.

As numerous as the stars in the sky so is the generosity of God’s mercy and loving

kindness in His gifts of forgiveness and healing.

Our Lenten pilgrimage continues with much hope because as followers of Christ Jesus

who leads us to his passion, to the cross, to the tomb, and on that Easter morn to share in the joy and

glory of His Resurrection.

With renewed mind and spirit our daily journey continues with greater compassion and understanding for

our brothers and sisters in Christ.

As in past summers, we anticipate our annual St. Kateri Family Reunion in Burlingame to celebrate the

77th Annual Tekakwitha Conference. This year’s theme is ‘Saint Kateri Tekakwitha The Bridge between

Our Faith and Our Traditions’. This is a great opportunity for her friends to recognize the many ways she

has been instrumental as a young woman of the Gospel to walk with her people for healing and for daily

favors.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha’s National Tekakwitha Conference has experienced God’s loving kindness

through some generous members who have responded to our appeal for monetary assistance to assist us

with some monthly expenses and for the purchase of office furnishings. We are most grateful to each of

our generous benefactors since the New Year.

The 2016 Conference planning has scheduled an off-site visit to Mission Dolores on Saturday afternoon,

July 23. Therefore, in this issue of the Cross and Feathers the meal package at the Hyatt will be reduced

by one hundred dollars ($100.00). Saturday’s lunch and dinner will be provided by the 2016 Planning

Committee. Those who have already paid for the full meal package will receive a refund check from this

office for one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the two meals (Saturday lunch and dinner).

As we continue to be mindful of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, together let’s live in harmony with all of

God’s children and to care for our common home, Mother Earth.

Blessings to all during this liturgical year to enjoy the fullness of life in Christ.

Sister Kateri Mitchell

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.

UPCOMING EVENTS 2016 promises to be another exciting and challenging year for those working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ministry. At times we can all feel isolated overwhelmed by the issues that we come across on a daily basis. NATSICC, along with the Bishops Commission for relations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics have built a retreat - Reconciliation - with God, with each other and with the Land - as a way to support those working in Indigenous Ministry and to bring the focus back onto their own spiritual well-being. Through a process of recollection, formation and spiritual pilgrimage, the retreat will provide delegates with the tools to share their faith and a network of support to strengthen their spirit. Located in Australia’s heart – Alice Springs - the Retreat will take place from 19-21 April 2016. We hope to attract 40 delegates from every State and Territory. Speakers are still being confirmed but include Archbishop Christopher Prowse, Aboriginal Theologian Evelyn Parkin, Bishop Christopher Saunders and more. A pilgrimage to the Spiritual sites in and around Alice Springs will take place on the final day of the retreat. The retreat is open to anyone working in Ministry and Pastoral care with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
