U.S. women to be declared saints Oct. 21
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI has set Oct. 21 as the date to canonize two U.S. saints: Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk Indian who spent most of her life in what is now upstate New York, and Mother Marianne Cope, who began religious life in that area but moved to Hawaii to care for leprosy patients.
Benedict had already approved miracles attributed to the two, the final step toward sainthood. At the end of a ceremony Saturday to appoint 22 cardinals he announced the date for canonization of the women and five others.-- AP
