Katharine Drexel
Sometimes it is hard to be generous and unselfish. Saint Katharine Drexel shows us how we should treat others with respect and charity. Despite a wealthy background, she wasn’t greedy. She spent her life giving generously to the poor through her missionary work in the United States. Her life teaches us that money doesn’t always bring happiness, but loving others and Jesus can!
