Incredible Woman...I loved reading about her and what she did for the people she helped in this country.
martin i vary well agree
If only we could route the money collected for welfare programs through the Church, a better outcome would be realized. Money spent in faith always produces more fruit than money spent in a secular cause. This beloved Saint proves this truth even today. God bless all.
with such great determination and grace of god , her works has been an inspiration to me and millions like me to do likewise........

Min point: in getting ready with this week's saint for my CFP class, I first looked in my Lives of the Saints (Catholic Book Publishing). I can't find a publishing date, but it was given to my daughter in 1996. It still had St. Katherine as blessed, so I did a search on Yahoo and came to your site for the canonization date. The web site text is verbatim from the book. I'm sure you have permission, I just think it would be good somewhere on the site to credit the source.
Thanks for creating and maintaining this site!
