"St. Kateri's Rosary and Black Elk's Buffalo Skull"
Indigenous Catholics like St. Kateri Tekakwitha and Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk give traditional Catholic practices like the the rosary new life. They also uncover hidden parts of the Faith. Come learn how a buffalo skull in St. Peter's Church on the Standing Rock Reservation highlights the importance of the buffalo to Nations of the Plains and brings to light what it means to call Jesus the Horn of Salvation (Lk 1:69).
