Summary:

This moving documentary takes us on a journey from northern New York State to Montreal and K'ahnawake; from Washington State to New Mexico, as we following St. Kateri's incredible journey of deep faith, heroic sacrifice and love of Christ. Featuring many people who have been touched by her--including Philadelphia's Archiboshop Charles Chaput, OFM, of the Prarie Band Potawatomi tribe, the only Native American archbishop; Bishop James Wall of Gallop, NM, the diocese with the largest number of Native American Catholics; Sr. Kateri Mitchell, SSA, the Executive Director of the Tekakwitha Conference, and Jake Finkbonner, the little boy who received the miraculous healing that led to her canonization--the film shows that no one is too simple or too young to follow Christ, and that this woman, whose face was scarred and vision was weak, is still a source of Grace and healing for all.
