St. Katharine Drexel, Virgin
Katharine Drexel was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 26, 1858. 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.

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT- February 25, 2018
Z La cuaresma en un tiempo de preparación para la Pascua. Se recuerda así el camino histórico de Jesús hacia Jerusalén seguido por sus discípulos. Al mismo tiempo, se actualiza el camino pascual de los discípulos desde Jerusalén al mundo entero. Y se hace la memoria de nuestro camino bautismal en el hoy de nuestra vida cristiana. Vamos viviendo la peregrinación de la fe en la celebración litúrgica de la vida cotidiana. En el tejido y la trama de nuestras biografías somos invitados a aseguir haciendo el tránsito de la decepción a la esperanza, del abandono a la entrega a la misión, de la superficialidad a la profundidad, de la cerrazón a la confianza, de la dispersión a la integración.
A. Reservemos el miércoles, 28 de febrero para comenzar a las 7 p.m. en el sótano de la capilla los ensayos del equipo del Viacrucis del Viernes Santo, cuya fecha es el 30 de Marzo. Anunciaremos más detalles en las Misas y boletines venideros. Si quiere participar en el equipo del Viacrucis, favor de hablar con Sr. Sergio Mora, Sr. Fabián Vázquez, Sr. Patricio Tenenpaguay o Sr. Manuel Arévalo.
Nuestro Grupo de Oración en español B. nos invita a toda nuestra comunidad a sus reuniones de alabanza y acción de gracias cada viernes a las 7:30 p.m. en el sótano de la capilla de la parroquia. Vengan, acompáñenos, y daremos gracias a Dios por un nuevo año lleno de armonía, y unidad en
nuestra comunidad.
SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH:
Z Lent in a time of preparation for Easter. The historical path of Jesus to Jerusalem followed by his
disciples is thus remembered. At the same time, the Disciples ' Paschal path is updated from Jerusalem to the whole world. And the memory of our baptismal path is made in our Christian life. We live the pilgrimage of faith in the liturgical celebration of everyday life. In the fabric and the plot of our biographies we are invited to follow by making the transition from disappointment to hope, from abandonment to mission delivery, from superficiality to depth, from closure to trust, from dispersion to integration.
Z We reserve on Wednesday, February 28 to begin at 7pm. in the Monsignor Powers Room the rehearsals of the team of the Viacrucis of Good Friday, whose date is the 30 of March. We'll announce more details at the upcoming Masses and newsletters. If you want to participate in the VIACRUCIS team, please talk to Sr. Sergio Mora, Sr. Fabián Vázquez, Sr. Patricio Tenenpaguay or Sr. Manuel Arévalo. Z The Prayer Group invites our entire community to its praise and thanksgiving meetings every Friday at 7:30 pm in the Monsignor Powers Room (below the Chapel).
