St. Katharina Kasper was born May 26, 1820 in Dernbach, Germany. Throughout her life, St. Katharina Kasper helped others in ordinary ways and attracted other young girls by her example of service. Together St. Katharina Kasper and four other women formed the religious community, the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ when they pronounced the public vows of poverty, chastity and obedience on August 15, 1851. Their ministry continued throughout Germany and spread to England, the United States in 1868, the Netherlands, India, Mexico, Brazil, Kenya and Nigeria. St. Katharina Kasper, known in religious life, as Mother Mary, died on February 2, 1898. Her good works and following the life of Christ caused the to name her Blessed Katharina Kasper on April 16, 1978. We are excited to celebrate her Canonization, along with 5 other holy men and women, on October 14, 2018!
