Ways We Help

          
In this Year of Faith we are all called to holiness and through our example to renew the Church. St. Kateri, 1656-1680, has been called by both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI a model of faith and a model of this new evangelization. At her canonization last October, Pope Benedict entrusted to St. Kateri "the renewal of the faith in the First Nations and in all of North America." So, it is fitting that this year we turn to one of the newest saints of the Church to lead us by her example, to partner with us to do God’s work of renewing the face of the Earth.

Ministry

Ministries supported by Partners in Charity are staffed by people who act in the spirit of St. Kateri Tekkawitha – with love and deep devotion. Like the Jesuit missionaries who reached the Native American Indian girl with the word of God, many of those who work in our diocese share the same mission and will take St. Kateri to be a partner in their work.  Your financial and prayerful support of Partners in Charity enables them to put their faith into action and bring others to Christ.
