The Motherhouse and Novitiate is located at Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania Just over the northeastern boundary of Phi ladelphia. Founded in 1891 by Reverend Mother Mary Katharine Drexel of Philadelphia at the express invitation of Pope Leo XIII, this American missionary com munity carries on a nationwide apostolate of teaching, cate chetical and social service work. Seventy - three years ago, Katharine Drexel, daughter of Francis Anthony J Drexel*, de dicated herself and all her material wealth to those who were in great need of her bene factions, the Indians and Negroes. Though a member of one of the wealthiest families In Philadelphia,’Katharine was always aware that she could do great good with the riches that were hers, and from her earli est days she developed a love for the poor and suffering. As she grew up she followed the charitable example of her father and mother in helping mis sionaries. She was particularly interested in the desperate plight of the Indians and as a laywoman she contributed large sums of money to build Indian schools where they were need ed. The lack of religious Sisters to teach at Sc. Catherine's Indian School, Santa Fe, which had been built by her for the Pueblo Indians prompted her on one of her visits to Rome to ask the Holy Father to send Sisters from Europe to the Indian mis sions in America. The Pontiff smiled at her and uttered the words that were to change her life: "My Child, why don't you become a missionary your self?" Thus under the direct inspiration of God and the ad vice of His Vicar on earth, a new community was born to the Catholic Church in Ameri ca. IN 24 DIOCESE, S. B. S. mis- sioners engage in their aposto late, staffing fifty - one ele mentary schools, 10 high schools, including four boarding schools that are maintained as well as staffed by them. Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, founded by Mother Katharine in 1925 is the Alma Mater of more than five thou sand students who have availed themselves of the opportunity for higher education and pro fessional training. Yearly, throughout twenty - one states S. B. S. carry on a varied and extensive aposto late. As teachers their duties are part of a vast education program that is made available to more than 20,000 Indians and Negroes yearly,. Within the life ’ time of Reverend Mother Katharine the community erect ed and maintained a long chain of rural schools in the deep South. Many of these today have become parishes in the diocese in which they are located, cen ters of active Catholicity. BESIDES their educational endeavors, these Sister-mis- ‘ sioners make home visitations, give catechetical and convert' instructions and carry on a varied program of social ser vice work on a nationwide scale. On the Navajo Indian reservat ion, in the mountains and hills and mesas among the Pueblo, in the heart of large Northern and Eastern cities, in the rural south these Sisters of the Bless ed Sacrament have their mis sion field. Through their endeavors, TRACK TEAM these daughters of Mother Katharine Drexel, hope to help bring about the unity of all peoples in Christ, the goal of the Eucharist. The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament came to Atlanta in 1913 to open Our Lady of Lourdes School. In 1961 the Sisters of the Blessed Sacra ment, together with the Sisters of St. Joseph, formed the faculty for the new Archdiocesan Drexel Catholic High School.
