The Saint Katharine Drexel Society
The Saint Katharine Drexel Society was founded in 2026 to honor Saint Katharine Drexel, to make her life and message known, and to unite those devoted to her in spiritual communion.
All enrolled in the Saint Katharine Drexel Society share in the following benefits:
- A monthly Mass offered at the Cathedral Basilica for all living and deceased members
- A remembrance in the novena offered each Thursday, as well as during the Solemn Novena each February and March
- A remembrance in the daily prayers of the priests assigned to the Cathedral Basilica
Members, in turn, are asked to help promote devotion to Saint Katharine Drexel according to the means available, and to pray for all members of the Society. A certificate of membership is provided to all who enroll. In exchange, an offering is asked, which supports the work of the Shrine.
