Prayer for the Canonization of Nicholas Black Elk
“Grandfather!” Great Spirit!
Behold us, who stand before you, singing our song of thanksgiving for your beloved servant, Nicholas Black Elk.
Faithfully he walked the Sacred Red Road and generously witnessed the Good News of our Lord, Jesus Christ among Native people.
Grandfather, we humbly ask you to hear the prayers we plead through his intercession.
We ask Holy Mother Church to recognize his sanctity, by acknowledging his presence among the company of saints and as one to imitate in his zeal for the Gospel.
Open our hearts to also recognize the Risen Christ in other cultures and peoples, to the glory and honor of God the Father.
Amen.

About St. Augustine Church

About Us
St. Augustine Church
705 S. Mission Drive, Winnebago, NE 68071
St. Augustine Church is part of the St. Augustine Indian Mission which was founded by St. Katharine Drexel in 1909 at the request of the Winnebago Tribal People.
In 1888 Bishop James O'Connor and elders of the Winnebago Community dreamed of building a Mission to serve the Winnebago community. Bishop O'Connor dies in 1890 before his dream can be fully realized. In 1908 Fr. John Griese, a German Missionary, arrives in Winnebago to start a Mission and School. Joseph LaMere, a Winnebago Elder negotiates for 15 acres of land at the north end of Winnebago to be the site of the Mission and School. In 1909, St. Katharine Drexel arrives and oversees the planning and construction of the Mission and School. The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and Archdiocese of Omaha priests staff the Mission community. In 1944 the sisters of the Blessed Sacrament withdraw and the Archdiocese of Omaha assumes full responsibility for St. Augustine's. In 1945 the Missionary Benedictine Sisters arrived to help staff St. Augustine's, where they remain to this day.
