With America’s 250th celebration right around the corner, St. John’s Episcopal Church of Catharine is a perfect setting for the 4th Haudenosaunee Remembrance, Recognition and Reconciliation Service Sunday, June 21st, at St. John’s Episcopal Church of Catharine, 4938 County Road 14, Odessa, NY. Beginning at 10:00 AM, Haudenosaunee Storyteller Perry Ground will have a presentation related to America 250 that will include stories, historical, and cultural information about the Haudenosaunee and their influence on the founding of the United States.
Father David Hanselman, Rector of St. John’s and St. James’ Episcopal Churches in Schuyler County said,” St John’s is once again honored to welcome Haudenosaunee storyteller Perry Ground. We seek to deepen our understanding and strengthen our friendship while continuing to learn about the Native American cultures that preceded European settlement and continue to provide important perspectives on sharing and caring for this amazing, precious and beautiful land that surrounds and nurtures us.”
When one comes to St. John’s, look out at the road, and know that for thousands of years prior to its founding in 1810, Haudenosaunee and earlier Lamoka people walked among us – literally right by where the church is located. The stories told over the centuries must have been amazing. Come. Listen. Unplug. Feel the spirit.
