Their life in brief
Born into a wealthy Philadelphia family in 1858, Katharine learned to see possessions as gifts entrusted for service.
She founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, established schools and missions, and opposed racial injustice through practical, persevering works of education.
“What do you possess that you have not received?”
1 Corinthians 4:7
What Katharine Drexel teaches us
Generosity becomes discipleship when we offer not only surplus, but our plans, security, and whole future to God.
Pause and reflect
01Where is God inviting me to practice stewardship for justice today?
02Who may need the grace of this saint’s witness through my actions?
Let us pray
Saint Katharine Drexel, pray for me. Help me follow Jesus with stewardship for justice and respond faithfully to the people and duties God has entrusted to me. May your witness draw me into deeper prayer, generous service, and confident hope in Christ. Amen.
