St. Katharine Drexel
Today is the feast of St. Katharine Drexel, born to a wealthy family in Philadelphia in the 19th Century, and now renown not for her wealth, but for devoting her wealth and her life to the concerns of Native Americans and African Americans.
Here is the description of St. Katharine's life from the American Catholic website. And here is the description from a proud son of Philly about their "St. Kate".
