15 Days of Prayer with Saint Katharine Drexelby Leo Luke Marcello
$10.95
This newest entry in the "15 Days of Prayer..." series introduces readers to Saint Katharine Drexel, the Philadelphia socialite who became a nun and missionary to the poor and oppressed. Born in 1858 into a socially prominent Philadelphia family, Katharine Drexel seemed destined to lead the life of a debutante. Instead, from the age of 33 until her death in 1955, she dedicated her life and a fortune of 20 million dollars to the material and spiritual well-being of black and native Americans. She founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which had 500 Sisters teaching in 63 schools throughout the country by the time of her death. Mother Drexel helped open the first mission school for Indians in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1894. She also founded Xavier University in New Orleans. For Katherine Drexel, sharing the bread of her life was an extension of her desire to share her wealth with those who had little. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in October 2000. "Peacefully do at each moment what at that moment needs to be done," advises Katherine Drexel, the perfect model of a Gospel-centered life lived with a sense of social justice in a world torn by differences.
