Famous shrine dedicated to the memory and life of Saint Kateri Tegawitha (Phonetically pronounced in the Mohawk language: "Gahd-DER-ree Day-Ga-WEEE-dah").
The site has been in existence since 1938, and is elevated to the status of a National Shrine, erected on the site of the exact village (Caughnawaga) where St Kateri lived most of her life. It was also the place of her baptism.
You will also find an excellent museum that is full of rare artifacts and exhibits that are staggering in their quality of research accuracy and sheer volume of archeological originality. Everything is maintained by a small dedicated team of volunteers under the care of the Franciscan Friars.
There is no question that this place is one of healing and peace. So if you are seeking either or both, you should consider coming here first and visit or pilgrimage.
Masses and Confessions are available but check the website for the most current information and events. Due to weather conditions, the more popular months are April through October.
Thank you for reading my review.
