Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Church is a vibrant and welcoming community located in Warm Springs, Jefferson County, Oregon. Our church is dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of the local community and providing a place of worship, fellowship, and growth in faith for all who enter our doors.
Named after Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint in the Catholic Church, our church holds a special significance for the indigenous peoples of Oregon and beyond. Kateri Tekakwitha was a Mohawk woman who converted to Catholicism and dedicated her life to prayer, sacrifice, and serving others. Her example of humility, courage, and devotion serves as an inspiration for our community as we strive to live out our faith in our daily lives.
