LINO LAKES, Minn. (The Catholic Spirit) – The first time 56-year-old Roger Zarembinski laid his hand on the wood panel on which he was to create an image of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, he groaned.

CATHOLIC ARTIST DEPICTS BEATIFIED INDIAN – Roger Zarembinski, parishioner of St. Pius X Church in While Bear Lake, Minn., pigments his pastel drawing of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. The drawing is to be installed later this summer in St. Anthony mission church on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation near Mandaree, N.D. (The Catholic Spirit) “One of the harder things to do is just getting started,” he said.

That was a year ago.

Today, the nearly finished 44-by-90-inch pastel chalk drawing of the blessed American Indian woman stands alive with color in Zarembinski’s Lino Lakes studio, which is a converted chicken coop.
