On October 1, 2000, Pope John Paul II proclaimed Katharine Drexel (1858-1955) to be a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. Only the second American-born Catholic saint in history, Drexel founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament in 1891 and established more than sixty Blessed Sacrament missions and schools.

In this biography Cheryl Hughes chronicles the remarkable life of St. Katharine Drexel, exploring what drove her to turn away from her family's wealth and become a missionary nun who served some of the most underprivileged and marginalized people of her time. Through her inspiration and effort Mother Katharine improved the lives of untold numbers of Native Americans and African Americans, overcoming open hostility to her work from various quarters, including the Ku Klux Klan. Her saintly legacy lives on today.

Sleek, Durable, and Super Practical
Color: Black, Color: Black
Very nice quality overall—the material feels soft but still durable, like it’ll hold up well over time. The sleek black design is super versatile and pairs easily with different outfits or bags. The wristlet strap is a great addition, and the connector feels sturdy and well made. Inside, there are plenty of card slots, and the exterior coin pouch is a nice bonus for quick access. The snap closure is strong and secure, which makes it feel reliable for everyday use.

Versatile Wristlet for Travel or Everyday Use
Color: Vanilla/Soft Pink, Color: Vanilla/Soft Pink
This is a very nice wristlet with a clean, polished look. The color combination of the off-white exterior and dusty pink interior gives it an elegant and timeless feel, as expected from this brand. One of the features I liked most is the ability to carry a phone inside. It did fit my phone without a case, and the snap closure helped keep it secure. With a bulkier case, the fit was more limited, so that’s something to keep in mind. It can be used on its own with the wristlet strap or placed inside a larger purse, which makes it versatile for different situations. There’s plenty of room for essentials, including multiple credit cards, an ID window, a zippered pouch for coins, and space for cash. The layout is well thought out and keeps everything organized. The stitching and overall construction appear well done, with no visible flaws. Overall, this is a stylish, functional wristlet that offers good organization and flexibility for everyday use or travel.
