Product Details

Celebrate the first Native American saint with this banner design of St. Kateri Tekakwitha -Lily of the Mohawks, based on a painting from The Living Heart Co.

Jess’ description: ” ‘I am not my own; I have given myself to Jesus. He must be my only love.’ Kateri Tekakwitha, Lily of the Mohawks, was orphaned at a young age after a smallpox outbreak that left her partially blind and face badly scarred. She was adopted by her uncle, a Mohawk chief, who vehemently opposed her determination to remain unmarried as well as her conversion to Catholicism at age 19. Her faith in Christ caused her to be shunned and bullied by members of her tribe, but she remained joyful, finding hope, strength, and true happiness in the Sacraments. ⁣Kateri’s motto became, ‘Who can tell me what is most pleasing to God that I may do it?’ She spent much of her time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, kneeling in the cold chapel for hours. When the winter hunting season took Kateri and many of the villagers away from the village, she made her own little chapel in the woods by making a wooden cross and spending time there in prayer, kneeling in the snow. Kateri loved the Rosary and carried it with her always.⁣ Kateri died on April 17, 1680, at the age of 24. Her last words were, ‘Jesus, I love You.’ Like the flower she was named for, the lily, Kateri’s life was short and beautiful. Moments after dying, her scarred face miraculously cleared and was made beautiful by God. This miracle was witnessed by two Jesuit priests and all the others able to fit into the room. Many miracles were to follow.⁣ She is recognized for her heroic faith, virtue, and love of Jesus, in the face of great adversity and rejection. ⁣For this portrait I wanted to portray Kateri as radiant and joyful. I modeled her clothes after the original painting created by a priest who knew her- depicting the blue blanket she wore on her head to shield her eyes from the sun and the simple tunic given her by Jesuits. ⁣St. Kateri, Lily of the Mohawks, pray for us!”

  Our Pastor loved the banner
  May 23, 2018 by Judith
  Just wanted you to know how much our Pastor admired the banner. Of course, he is totally dedicated to Our Blessed Mother but when he walked in for Mass and saw the banner on the altar he had a smile from ear to ear and he asked me to tell you that he thought it was beautiful. So thank you again for the quality of your product time after time and for making it affordable for us! God bless you.

  Our archdiocesan communications office ordered two custom banners for a conference. Diocesan made the process incredibly simple. We downloaded the template, created our artwork and submitted the file. Their response and turn-around time were fantastic. We received two high-resolution, high-quality banners at a low price. We'll be using this service again.
