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

Encore: The Saintly Socialite Pt. 4 | Happy Challenges (Katharine Drexel)
In part 4 of Katharine’s story, we finally see her work come to fruition. In Katharine's lifetime, she saw the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament grow from her original five sisters to 500+. When she passed away at the age of 94, she had survived typhoid fever, multiple heart attacks, bomb threats, riots, prejudices, tornadoes and more. And, through it all, her love for God and His children shined so brightly.
There is no doubt that Katharine used her gifts to further the Kingdom of God and that she truly merits the title of holy donor.
As we hear in Matthew 24:19, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Katharine showed that, while it may not be easy to forgo riches in service to God, it truly is worth the sacrifice.
