"The Blood Of Martyrs
...is the seed of Christianity"
This is a fabulous story.
Did you know that the North American Martyrs died in the same village that Bl. Kateri Tekawitha would later be born in-and become a Christian? (Died, heh. Wait til you read about how they died. They totally earned the title "Martyrs"!! )
Today is the feast of the North American Martyrs, but since Bl Kateri's day is in July and her story is so directly related to the Martyrs, it's a good idea to bring her up today.

I was at the first annual youth conference for our diocese at the shrine http://www.martyrshrine.org/ this past summer. Really good stuff. The grounds are beautiful and inspiring. Looking forward to next summer.
You're in that diocese?
I have been to Auriesville many times with young people and adults. we recently held our faculty retreat there. It is a wonderful place
