Her father, Francis Anthony Drexel, was a business partner of financier J.P. Morgan. Her mother, Hannah Jane (née Langstroth) Drexel, died a month after Drexel's birth; in 1860, her father was married again, to Emma Bouvier. In addition to their great wealth, her parents were known for their philanthropic endeavors. Drexel was raised as a young heiress in Philadelphia, and was educated at home. However, having traveled throughout the United States, she was aware of the difficult circumstances faced by Native Americans and African Americans across the country. Drexel—who lost her stepmother in 1883 and her father in 1885—wanted to use her inherited wealth to help these groups. Drexel supported several schools, including one that was located on a reservation in South Dakota. During a trip to Europe in 1887, she met Pope Leo XIII and asked him to recommend a religious order that could send missionaries to the institutions she was funding. He suggested that Drexel might undertake the missionary work herself. Religious Life and Work In 1889, Drexel entered religious life as a novice under the training of the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She took her final vows in 1891. With the help of a few other nuns, she founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians (later known simply as the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament). The order would use Drexel's fortune to fund its work. Drexel and 15 of her fellow sisters set up a school for Native Americans in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1894. This was followed by the creation of other schools throughout the Southwest, including ones on reservations. Drexel's order also opened many schools for African-American children. She founded a secondary school for African Americans in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1915. Ten years later, the institution became Xavier University. Later Life and Death Drexel suffered a heart attack in 1935; two years later, she gave up the leadership of her order. She died at the age of 96 on March 3, 1955, in Cornwell Heights, Pennsylvania. During her life she had given approximately 20 million dollars to help people in need. Drexel's order had more than 500 members at the time of her death. With her assistance, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament had opened 145 missions, 49 elementary schools and 12 high schools. Today, the order continues its missionary and educational work. Canonization as a Saint In the 1960s, the Catholic Church began the process of considering Drexel for sainthood. She was beatified in 1988, after the Vatican found that prayers to Drexel had restored a teenager's hearing. In 2000, she was credited with a second cure; Pope John Paul II canonized her as Saint Katharine Drexel later that same year. Her feast day is March 3.

  • St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and Dissed?
    St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and dissed? Dorothy Day supposedly uttered that famous phrase, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.” Day, of course, now has her own cause for sainthood. And she was deeply devoted to many saints, and once said that we’re all called to sainthood. But she had a point about saints being dismissed easily. Case in point is the recent brouhaha in New York over a statue to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized. You’ve probably heard the story: The city of New York has monuments all over the place, but there’s a woeful gap in the number of women versus men so honored. The first lady of New York, Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spouse, headed up a commission with the intent of narrowing that gap. Called the “She Built NYC” project, the commission decided to ask New Yorkers for their input on which women should be honored with a statue. So far, so good. New Yorkers nominated some 320 women. And the big winner? Mother Cabrini, with 219 votes. Sad to say, however, when the commission picked seven winners to be memorialized around the city with monuments costing taxpayers about $5 million, St. Frances Cabrini didn’t make the cut. Why not? Part of the intent of the project was to raise awareness of women of color, a group often overlooked and undervalued. So, one excellent selection was Shirley Chisholm, America’s first black congresswomen.

  • St. Katharine Drexel Society
    St. Katharine Drexel Society Members of the St. Katharine Drexel Society provide annual financial support for the ministry of The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida helping us to elevate philanthropy to flourish our Church ensuring its future and the fruits of generosity in Central Florida. St. Katharine Drexel’s legacy of addressing needs through faith-filled Catholic philanthropy is the model for The Catholic Foundation’s mission and vision. As a philanthropic organization, we strive to inspire giving to support the spiritual and corporal needs of our communities throughout the Diocese of Orlando. St. Katharine Drexel Born into a wealthy Philadelphia family, St. Katharine was impacted by the philanthropic legacy set by her parents who lived out their Catholic faith through charity, opening their home to the poor and distributing food and clothing. She gave up her affluent lifestyle to enter religious life and used her inheritance to minister to the poor and oppressed. She founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which provided for the physical and spiritual care for others through hospitals, shelters and educational institutions including over 100 schools that served Native American reservations and Southern African American communities. Saint John Paul II canonized Katharine Drexel in 2000. In his homily during the canonization Mass, he said, “Katharine Drexel is an excellent example of practical charity and generous solidarity with the less fortunate, which has long been the distinguishing mark of American Catholics.” As the Patron Saint of Philanthropy, the love of mankind, St. Katharine’s philanthropy was a sacred call living out her faith in service to others and to the Church.

By examining the efforts of Katharine Drexel in educating African Americans, we acquire a unique vantage into the methods that the institutional Church employed to build Catholicism in America throughout the nineteenth century and the early art of the twentieth century. Often overwhelmed by multitudes of Catholic immigrants surging into the states from Europe, American bishops made evangelization among unchurched African Americans a low priority despite their being chastened by Rome. Catholic African Americans, moreover,

  • When the Saints Go Marching In! Lessons Learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G. Thiel at the Tekakwitha Confe
    When the Saints go marching In! Lessons learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G. Thiel at the Tekakwitha Conference, Alexandria, Louisiana, July 2015 1. Welcome to “When the Saints Go Marching In!” and thank you for attending. My name is Mark Thiel, the Marquette University archivist who keeps the historical records of the Black and Indian Mission Office and the Tekakwitha Conference with some Lessons Learned from canonization Causes, Past and Present. 1 2. Since its earliest days, the Christian community has proclaimed its notable saints as heroes who lead the march into Heaven. From all Christians – laity, clergy, and religious of all cultures, continents, and ways of life, they have provided a mosaic of diverse models of Christian virtue who have served as our intercessors and mediators with God for granting miracles and favors. In so doing, the Catholic Church continues to teach that while Jesus holds all power and all prayer must be answered by him, he chooses to not act alone. Rather, he collaborates with his vast multitude, the Communion of Saints. 3. In 34 A.D., soon after Jesus’ crucifixion, the Apostles appointed Stephen as one of the first deacons to preach the Gospel in Jerusalem. He healed people and worked miracles too, which angered some who confronted him and stoned him to death. Then the Christian community proclaimed him a martyr and saint, and thus began the practice of proclaiming as saints those saints those among us who lived exceptional holy Christian lives and entering their names into special canons or honor rolls.
