" ... We started going to them, when they started opening up the Conferences to the lay people. I forgot the year [ca. 1980] but anyway, it was at that time that we were exposed to this young lady and all ... she represented ... at that time I was thinking, 'This is great!'... Now we have one of our own. We have someone who can really help us in our time of need ... we can feel very comfortable to know that for once this person is more than understanding, but we can also identify with her ... She's like a little sister to the Blessed Mother. It's like we have another person that we can go to pray to, or a person who can intercede for us, Kateri that is."

Deacon Daniel Nez Martin (Navajo)
