More DescriptionThe life story of Katharine Drexel, foundress of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament religious order, spans from her birth in 1858 to her death in 1955.
Within those ninety-six years she engaged in far reaching developments in the history of the United States. Her activities were phenomenal in their extent and breathtaking in inspiration.
Katharine Drexel was beatified by Pope John Paul II on November 20, 1988 and on October 1, 2000 was Canonized a Saint of the Universal Catholic Church.
In each step of this process her holiness and zeal were affirmed. She belonged to God alone. Her passionate love of God, and God's love of her opened the eyes of her heart wide to see the face of God in all, but very specifically in the poor among the Black and Native American peoples. She was God's instrument for evangelization and social justice!
