History: St. Lucy Church, Syracuse, has been a predominantly non-Native American parish in the Diocese of Syracuse (Archives: Syracuse, New York). The parish has had some Native American parishioners (e.g. Mohawk), 1950s-present, who founded and have maintained an active St. Kateri Tekakwitha Committee, 1979-present (Tekakwitha Conference chapter). Initially, the committee organized to support St. Kateri’s canonization cause, which concluded in 2012.
