In part 4 of Katharine’s story, we finally see her work come to fruition as well as her journey to sainthood. In her lifetime, she saw the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament grow from her original five sisters upwards to 500. When she passed 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 for those in need, was able to shine so brightly.

There was no doubt that Katharine used her gifts to further the Kingdom of God and that she truly was a Holy Donor. As is says 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, it is not impossible and it truly is worth the sacrifice.
