Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Mini-Bio, Posters and Coloring Pages for Young Learners

This Saint Kateri resource provides a simple and accessible introduction to the life and faith of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint. Created for young children in early elementary and primary grades, it features a sweet, simplified retelling of her life highlighting her courage, her deep love for Jesus, and her devotion to prayer. Written in clear and gentle language, the mini-bio helps children understand who Saint Kateri was and why she has a special place in the Church.

In addition to the biography, it includes a mini–picture book activity that brings Saint Kateri’s story to life through simple images. Each panel depicts a key moment described in her Saint Story. When finished coloring, fold the page twice and it turns into a simple mini-picture-book that reminds the children of what they have learned. For younger learners who benefit from larger images, the same scenes are also provided as full-page coloring sheets, making it easier for little hands to participate. As an added bonus, the set includes full-color posters and mini-book for reference or display.

This Saint Kateri resource offers young children a meaningful way to learn about a beloved Catholic saint. Perfect for families, teachers, and catechists, this set helps children see Saint Kateri as a model of perseverance, gentleness, and love for God—while providing coloring and crafting activities that reinforce the key moments of her life.

Because of its flexible design, this resource fits naturally into a variety of educational settings. It can be used in saint units, lessons on Native American Catholic heritage, religious education classes, All Saints’ Day activities, morning basket time, or seasonal celebrations such as Saint Kateri’s feast day on July 14.
