It's very gracious of you to give me such a warm welcome, Mother Kalitsin.
Especially when I didn't give you any prior notice.
Thank you, Mother Dushan.
Unfortunately, it's a very sad story, sisters.
The Potawatomis call their long journey to Kansas the Trail of Death.
Over 900 Potawatomi men, women, and children were forcibly removed from their lands in Indiana and, surrounded by 100 U.S.
militia, had to walk over 600 miles to their destination in Kansas.
Along the way, over 40 people died, most of them children.
Accompanying the Potawatomis was their pastor, Father Benjamin Puti, who saw to their spiritual needs during the journey, saying daily mass, hearing confessions, baptizing babies, bandaging wounds, and giving last rites to those who were dying.
Oh, indeed he was, Mother Duchene.
But after their arrival in Kansas, he was recalled to Indiana by his bishop, and although he was accompanied on horseback by a Potawatomi friend, he died on the way back due to the rigors of the trip.
The Potawatomis contacted the society, begging for priests who can give them the sacraments and nuns to teach their children.
However, at this point in time, we cannot... But Mother Galitzin, Mother Duchenne has told me how much she wants to go.
It's been her lifelong dream.
I understand your concerns, Mother Galitsin, but I believe Mother Duchenne must come with us to Sugar Creek.
She couldn't possibly— God has been training her through years of selfless service.
Right now, Mother Duchenne may not be able to do much work, but she will assure success to the mission by playing for us.
Her very presence will draw all manner of heavenly favors on the work.
But you... I need several of your sisters and Mother Duchenne to accompany me to Sugar Creek.
Father, I can't... Even if Mother Duchenne can only use one leg, she's coming.
