Born in 1858 Saint Katherine Drexel was Originally from Philadelphia. In 1891 she founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored, who worked primarily in the western and southwestern United States. By taking a vow of poverty she gave to the under privileged children. In the course of her lifetime the order grew and worked to help these children by opening many schools where it was not thought of. Saint Katherine Drexel died in 1955 and we celebrate her Feast Day on March 3.
