I was with Bob and Penny Lord and Father Jim Plavcan as part of the video crew when we did our video on the Life of Saint Kateri.
Father Jim died soon after our interview with him. He was a holy Priest for sure.
We recently updated our video to high definition and it will be shown on EWTN this next spring.

During WWII when the Germans were occupying a Polish village, the refugees fled into the woods to hide, when an American Indian appeared to them. the refugees were terrified of the apparition. It was then that the Indian spoke to them and said, “Do not be afraid, I am Tekakwitha, I am the patroness of those in hiding.”
