\/><\/h3><p>Among the earliest gems of the Church in North America is Kateri Tekakwitha, a young Iroquois who was born in the 1600\u2019s of a Christian Algonquin mother and a non-Christian Iroquois chief, in Quebec, Canada. Having lost her parents at the age of fourteen, she was raised among the Mohawks in the home of an uncle. There she first encountered Christian missionaries, and was baptized on Easter Sunday, April 5, 1676. Because of her baptism, her exemplary life, and her desire to remain a virgin, Kateri suffered great persecution. She died at age twenty-four known as the \u201cLily of the Mowhawks,\u201d since she had given herself over entirely to care for the sick and long hours of prayer and penance. She was beatified in 1980 by Blessed Pope John Paul II, and canonized on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI.
