St. Kateri was a Native American woman of the Mohawk tribe. When she was young, French Jesuit missionaries visited her village, and she quickly became interested in the faith. At 19, she was baptized, against the wishes of her village. She went on to take a vow of chastity, and traveled to a Jesuit mission village, where she lived the rest of her life in faith. Her feast day is the 14th.
