Sommario/riassunto |
|
Catherine/Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680) has become known over the centuries as a holy Catholic convert. She is revered as the first Native North American proposed for sainthood. This book presents her story along with Claude Chauchetiere, a French Jesuit, who came to America hoping to rescue savages from sin and paganism. |
