The North Star for the ministry of Camp Tekakwitha

St. Kateri Tekakwitha serves as a spiritual guide for the ministry at Camp Tekakwitha, according to Scott Cason.

Cason describes how the life of St. Kateri provides a reliable point of reference for campers and retreatants. He notes that she modeled a deep love for the Lord despite facing significant hardships, including the death of her family, complications from smallpox, and persecution from members of her tribe. These challenges eventually led her to seek refuge at the St. Francis Xavier Mission to live her faith within a Christian community.
