St. Kateri Tekakwitha guides Camp Tekakwitha ministry

St. Kateri Tekakwitha serves as a spiritual guide for the ministry at Camp Tekakwitha.

Scott Cason of On Mission describes the saint as a reliable point of reference for the camp, comparing her to a north star that leads campers and retreatants closer to Christ. Cason notes that Kateri modeled a life of love for the Lord despite facing the death of her family, complications from smallpox, and persecution from members of her tribe.

The ministry uses Kateri's example of seeking a Christian community at the St. Francis Xavier Mission to inspire those participating in camp programs.
