Here is another story from Witnesses of the Faith, a series of short videos about the lives of Catholic saints, martyrs, and witnesses to Christ.
Katharine Drexel came to Rome ready to give God her fortune. Then Pope Leo XIII asked her a question that changed everything.
One of the wealthiest women in America, Katharine had already devoted herself to helping Native American and Black communities through schools, missions, food, medicine, and education. But when she asked the Pope for more missionaries, his answer forced her to face something deeper: was God asking only for her money, or for her whole life?
This is the moment that led Katharine Drexel from heiress to foundress, from privilege to poverty, and eventually to sainthood.
Powerful stories of virtue and holiness in the lives of Catholic saints and Biblical figures.
