4 4 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017 SAINT KATERI CELEBRATIONS October 16, 2016 October was a very busy month for the Journey with the Bear Kateri Circle, in the Diocese of Wilmington. It began with a welcoming dinner for Sr. Kateri Mitchell, SSA and Fr. Mike Carson held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish in Bear, DE on October 15th. Sr. Kateri and Fr. Mike met members of the Circle, and DJ Bradley from Virginia Beach, Diocese of Richmond, also joined us. We showed our guests the Indian Culture Wall at Seton which displays some artifacts and paintings. The Wall continues to be a good teaching tool for our youth when learning about Native American heritage. A grand celebration with Native American Liturgy was held on October 16th followed by a luncheon and social at St. Joseph s Church on French Street in Wilmington, DE. Pictured left- Rev. Paul M.

6 6 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017 AROUND SAINT KATERI COUNTRY As we prepare to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of St. John Paul II s iconic words to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Alice Springs on November 29, 1986, we are strengthened and emboldened by a message of hope and a blessing received directly from the Holy Father Pope Francis. In recent weeks, NATSICC, with the assistance of the Bishops Conference used a video message to request a blessing from the Holy Father. Recorded in Alice Springs, the video features people that were present at Blatherskite Park in These people experienced firsthand the impact that St. John Paul II s words made. A letter accompanied the video, along with Spanish translations, which expressed the power of the event in Alice Springs. Pope Francis wrote, This anniversary affords me the happy opportunity to express my deep esteem for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and for your ancient cultural heritage. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture is built on mutual respect and dignity and his holiness opening message is most appropriate. Drawing upon St. John Paul II s words, Pope Francis reminds us that the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is precious, with much to offer the Catholic Church around the world. Your culture, which shows the lasting genius and dignity of your race, must not be allowed to disappear. Do not think that your gifts are worth so little that you should no longer bother to maintain them. Share them with each other and teach them to your children. Your songs, your stories, your dances, your languages, must never be lost. We are overjoyed upon the receipt of the letter and blessing from his holiness, said NATSICC Chairperson John Lochowiak. It is more than just a blessing, it is confirmation that we, as first Australians are appreciated and respected by the Catholic Church. We, and the Church in Australia, are now challenged to continue to bring this respect to life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics. Pope Francis statement about his spiritual closeness with us is very important and we want this message to resonate across the length and breadth of this country, Lochowiak said. Sunday November 27, 2016, NATSICC called the Church across Australia to come together in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and use the power of faith and unity to bring to life Pope Francis hope that we offer a convincing and tangible sign that we are no longer strangers and sojourners, but...fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.
