St. Katharine Drexel on the Fall of Empires

Journey with St. Katharine Drexel, the beloved Philadelphia heiress-turned-saint, as she recounts in her own words a 1922 trip through the Southwest and her visitation of the Navajo mission that she helped finance. Mother's first-hand perspective shines throughout, from her leaving the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament at Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania, to all the other sights she observed on her trip: a view of the pueblos from the railroad car, the baptism of a dying Indian child, her tour of the school, and her encounter with medicine-man Hastin Yazhi. Features five photos taken on the journey and two contemporary maps.

Featuring litanies, novenas, and prayers to and by the American Saints, this collection includes Elizabeth Ann Seton, John Neumann, Katherine Drexel, Kateri Tekakwitha, the North American Martyrs, Francis Xavier Cabrini and more.
