CANADA-US-RELIGION-KATERI TEKAKWITHA-CANONIZATION
Candles are lit as Kateri Tekakwitha's devotion is being celebrated by the Catholic faithful October 21, 2012 at the St. Francis Xavier Church in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada. Pope Benedict XVI named seven new saints on Sunday, including the first Native American, praising their "heroic courage" as the Catholic Church seeks to counter a rising tide of secularism in the West. Kateri Tekakwitha, known as "Lily of the Mohawks", who for centuries has been a symbol of hope for the long-oppressed American Indians, was canonised in a lavish ceremony in St Peter's Square that followed her beatification in 1980 by the late pope John Paul II.
