During the month of November, our Diocese recognizes National Native American Heritage Month. We deeply appreciate the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native American. As Catholics, we give particular thanks for the witness of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mowak woman and the Patron Saint of the environment. You can learn more about the gifts and challenges of our Native American brothers and sisters by visiting the website from the Archdiocese of Washington DC.
