  1. Kateri Tekakwitha was a women who was baptized when she was a teenager and went to the new Christian colony of Indians in Canada.Here she lived a life dedicated to prayer, penitential practices, and care for the sick and aged. Every morning even in the winter time, she went to the chapel door intil it opened. My thoughts about Kateri Tekakwitha is that she was a women who cometed to god by going to the chapel and praying every day until the mass had ended. I think that our priest father peter showed be a saint because he speads the word of the lord and teaches us how to be more like god. This is why i think father peter showed by a saint.
