Kateri to join Juan Diego?

Catholics seek sainthood for Native womanCatholics in Canada are seeking sainthood for an Athabascan woman who died in 1949.

Rose Prince was from the Dakelh First Nation in British Columbia. She died from tuberculosis at the age of 34 and was buried near a Native residential school.

Catholics say her grave is the source of miracles. They have been making pilgrimages to the site since the 1990s.

The Catholic Church has canonized Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, an Aztec man who lived in Mexico in the 1500s, as a saint. Kateri Tekwakitha, 17th-century Mohawk woman from New York, has been beatified, a step below sainthood.
