Kateri Northwest Ministry Institute
|
Kateri Northwest Ministry Institute (KNMI) is a training program in leadership for Native American
Catholics. Kateri's mission is to empower Native American Catholics to serve their People and affirm their cultural and spiritual identity. KNMI encourages the People to take responsibility for the religious life of their local community. The program transforms training into action by involving Native leaders fully in the pastoral education of fellow Native Catholics. Kateri participants become teachers themselves, working in apprenticeship with KNMI staff, a collaboration which enables Native People to take ownership of their place within the local community. Our ultimate goal includes training lay leaders in the Native community, healing from substance abuse and dysfunction, and promoting greater involvement of Native People in their larger communities. |
