Posted in Shrines of Philadelphia, St. Katharine Drexel
The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament were founded by Katharine Drexel herself in 1923. Both John Neumann and Katharine Drexel have ties to St. John the Evangelist Church in downtown Philadelphia. Katharine Drexel had her first holy communion at St. John’s and John Neumann lived on site while he was the Bishop of Philadelphia.

“The creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of eternal glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this? Let the philosopher no longer disdain from listening to the common laborer; the wise, to the simple; the educated, to the illiterate; a child of a prince, to a peasant.” – St. Anthony of Padua
