Saint Katharine Drexel was taught the importance of charity from a young age. Born into wealth, she used her inheritance to support missions in Native American and African American communities, eventually establishing the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. Saint Katharine is the patron saint of racial justice and philanthropists, and her feast day is March 3.
