This PDF includes editable text, allowing you to change “St. Kateri Tekakwitha” to your preferred language.

Here St. Kateri Tekakwitha is shown holding both a cross and lilies, with a natural background of trees and sky, connecting her to her title “Lily of the Mohawks.” The lilies symbolize purity and her devotion to chastity, while the cross recalls her courage in embracing Christianity at great personal cost. Her halo marks her sanctity and witness of holiness. A catechist could use this sheet on July 14 or during a unit on the saints to show children that even young people can live lives of deep prayer and purity, offering their hearts completely to Christ.
