Saint Kateri was born in Upstate N.Y. in 1656 to a Christian Algonquin woman who had been given as a captive to her father, a Mohawk chief. Her family was ravaged by smallpox when she was 4 years old and she lost both of her parents and her brother. She survived with disfiguring facial scars and such weak eyesight that she was given the name Tekakwitha, meaning ‘ she who bumps into things.’\"\"<\/a>
\nAt 18, Kateri joined the Catholic church. Her family allowed it, but they were staunchly against Christianity. Kateri was ridiculed and shamed constantly due to her faith . Because she would not work on Sundays she was not allowed to eat on that day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
