There are two new American saints coming this October, Kateri Tekakwitha and Marianne Cope. Kateri will be the first canonized Native American, a group we covered in our last Spotlight. Marianne will be the first American saint from the Franciscan family, a group of religious congregations that have been an important part of American history from the start. More.
