Saint Katharine Drexel believed that everything she had was a gift from God—and she gave generously in return.
She gave her time. She gave her resources. She gave her talents. She gave her entire life.
Her generosity made possible schools, missions, communities, and countless opportunities for people to encounter Christ. Today, you can help continue that spirit of generosity through the Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel.
