March 3, 2025, Feast of St. Katharine Drexel, Virgin, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Born of a wealthy Philadelphia family, Katharine Drexel (November 26, 1858, to March 3, 1955) used her inheritance to establish missions for the black and Native American peoples.

Wanting to be “their mother and servant,” she dedicated her life to supporting the education and well-being of marginalized communities.

St. Katharine Drexel founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and spent her life and fortune founding sixty schools throughout the West and Southwest.

Drexel’s legacy is an inspiring example of using one’s resources and influence to better society, transcending boundaries, and embracing the principles of compassion and justice.

She is the patron saint of racial justice and philanthropy.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Katharine Drexel, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
