Where did Kateri Tekakwitha die?

Answer 1

Having survived an attack of plague that killed the rest of her family, she became weaker and weaker as the years went on. The progress of Kateri's illness became more and more alarming. On Palm Sunday, 1680, it was agreed that her fatal end was drawing near. On Thursday of Holy Week it was judged appropriate to give her Holy Viaticum. This news gave her great joy. It was the custom in the Sault village that when Communion was given to the sick, they would be carried to the chapel on a woven bark mat. Kateri was too weak to be carried in this manner, so an exception to the established rule was made for her. This extraordinary occurrence in the village drew a large crowd, which desired to escort the Blessed Sacrament, see a Saint die and recommend themselves to her prayers. The priest entered her cabin to hear her general Confession. In his presence, she renewed the gift she had made of herself to God and thanked Him for all the graces she had received since her Baptism, especially that of having preserved the integrity of her body. Despite her humility, the priest prevailed upon her to address a few words of exhortation to the crowd that pressed around her deathbed. She gave in to his wish and used the time remaining to her in this life in this exercise of charity and in continual acts of the love of God, as much as her strength would allow. Kateri received Extreme Unction on Wednesday of Holy Week, the last day of her life. After receiving this Sacrament, she said her good-byes to her friend Mary Theresa Tekayakentha, telling her to persevere in her good resolutions and promising to pray for her when she got to Heaven. Kateri turned her face towards Heaven as they read the prayers for the recommendation of her soul. She lost the use of her voice, but retained her hearing until her final breath. She united herself continually to the prayers being said for her and to the invocations of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary that were suggested to her. Kateri died quietly on the same day, at the age of 24.
