Which group includes Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. John Neumann, and St. Katherine Drexel?

• A. Saints of Asia
• B. European Saints
• C. American Saints
• D. Early Church Fathers

Answer: (C)

These individuals are all connected to the Catholic Church in the United States, so they are American saints. Blessed Tekakwitha was a Mohawk Christian who lived and grew in North American communities; Elizabeth Ann Seton founded Catholic schools and charitable work in America and was the first native-born American to be canonized; John Neumann served as a bishop in Philadelphia and helped organize the U.S. Catholic Church; Katherine Drexel dedicated her life to helping Native American and African American communities and founded a religious order that expanded across the country. They’re not tied to Asia, Europe, or the early Church Fathers, which are different regional or historical groups. So the common group they belong to is American Saints.
