Weekly Rosary in the Month of May
Each May we invite visitors to the Shrine to join us in a special rosary that incorporates St. Katharine’s reflections and writings to illuminate the mysteries of the rosary through her distinctly Eucharistic spirituality. This year, we’ll be inviting virtual participants via Zoom; please email SKDShrine@gmail.com for the meeting information.

Welcome from the Rector
On August 2, 2018, Saint Katharine Drexel’s sacred remains were translated from the Motherhouse of the Community she founded, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, to the Cathedral Basilica. Read the full welcome letter by the rector of the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, Fr. Dennis Gill.
