description: This biography captures the inspiring story of a Philadelphia heiress who became the second US-born saint who founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. Dedicated to helping the poor and forgotten, Katharine's work for Jesus was among the African American and Native American people. Inheriting her family's great fortune, she and her sisters built schools, convents, and churches. Her story will help children ages 9-12 rethink the value of money and consider how it can be used for great works of charity.
