Encore: The Saintly Socialite | Pt. 2 Why Not Yourself? (Katharine Drexel)

Holy Donors

In this episode, we discover that Katharine experienced even more tragedy in her young life. With the death of her father, Katharine lost her North Star, and she struggled to discern God's call for her life. For six years, Katharine remained indecisive about what to do next. She was torn between life as a nun or life as a wife. The stress of loss and doubt caused her health to decline, and we learn that Katharine eventually made a radical choice. What choice did she make? Join us next week to find out! --- Recommended reading: "Saint Katharine" by Cordelia Frances Biddle | “Katharine Drexel: The Riches-to-Rags Story of an American Catholic Saint” by Cheryl Hughes Specials thanks to Cordelia Frances Biddle for contributing to this season. --- Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).

About Podcast

Sharing inspiring stories of radical generosity that have changed the world! Holy Donors examines Catholic philanthropists through the lens of their time in history. We ask the questions: Were they faithful? Were they humble? Were they radically generous? You will learn about some inspiring givers you had never heard of, some famous figures that you didn't know were Catholic, and even some well known Catholic figures that may or may not have been what they seemed. Were they faithful, humble, and generous? Were they holy donors? www.holydonors.com
