East Coast Shrines: National Shrine of St Katharine Drexel
This Week on FORMED — (February 27, 2023) • 27m
The National Shrine of St Katharine Drexel, once located in Bensalem, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, was closed in 2017. Fortunately, this episode exists as a historic reminder of what once was. Learn about the “world’s richest nun”, Katharine Drexel. Diana interviews local author of two books on St. Katharine, Lou Baldwin, who discusses her family life and how she made the decision to devote not only her fortune, but her entire life to evangelize to Native and African Americans. You’ll also hear Robert Gutherman tell the miraculous story of how his hearing was restored through the intercession of St. Katharine, and how that miracle helped bring her closer to sainthood.
