INFORMATION

The Tekakwitha Conference strives to unify Native Catholic voice, presence and identity while respecting the diversity.

The Conference further strives to empower Native Catholics as Church and to deepen and affirm Native Catholic identity and pride in their culture and spiritual traditions.

The Tekakwitha Conference promotes and maintains regular and ongoing communication and involvement among various tribes, the hierarchy and structure of the Catholic Church in America.
