## Life before taking religious vows[edit]

Katharine Mary Drexel was born Catherine Marie Drexel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 26, 1858, to Francis Anthony Drexel and Hannah Langstroth. She had an older sister, Elizabeth. Her family owned a considerable banking fortune, and her uncle Anthony Joseph Drexel was the founder of Drexel University in Philadelphia. She was a distant cousin of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis on her father's side.

Langstroth died five weeks after Katherine's birth and Anthony Joseph and his wife Ellen cared for Katherine and Elizabeth for two years after. Her father remarried Emma Bouvier in 1860, brought his older children home, and had a third daughter, Louise, in 1863.[1]

The girls grew up in a wealthy and religious household with charitable principles. Emma would regularly host people in need at the home to distribute food and clothing.[2]

## Religious work[edit]

After she took religious vows, and took the name Mother Katharine, dedicating herself and her inheritance to the needs of oppressed Native Americans and African-Americans in the southern, western and southwestern United States, and was a vocal advocate of racial tolerance. Joined by 13 other women, she then established a religious congregation, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament to further this cause. She also financed more than 60 missions and schools around the United States, as well as the founding of Xavier University of Louisiana[3] – the only historically Black and Catholic university in the United States.

## Sainthood[edit]

Drexel is one of only a few American saints and the second American-born saint (Elizabeth Ann Seton was a natural-born US citizen, born in New York City in 1774 and canonized in 1975).

Drexel was beatified by Pope John Paul II on November 20, 1988, when her first miracle through prayer—healing the severe ear infection of teenage Robert Gutherman in 1974—was accepted.[4] She was canonized on October 1, 2000,[5] when her 1994 miracle of reversing congenital deafness in 2-year old Amy Wall was recognized.[6]

The Vatican cited a fourfold legacy of Drexel:

* A love of the Eucharist and perspective on the unity of all peoples;
* courage and initiative in addressing social inequality among minorities;
* her efforts to achieve quality education for all;
* and selfless service, including the donation of her inheritance, for the victims of injustice. (She is known as the patron saint of racial justice and of philanthropists.[citation needed])

Her feast day is observed on March 3, the anniversary of her death. She is buried in Cornwells Heights, Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania.
