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.

Soft, convenient, mobility friendly
These work great for my father who has mobility difficulties. He’s able to maintain a better grip with these. The mesh is soft, not abrasive, to the skin yet works up a good lather. Standard bar ivory fits nicely with room for a bigger bar soap.

The perfect soap bag for me
I'm new to using soap bags, I've tried a few different brands so far and this one is by far my favorite. I love how soap bags create a rich lather with bar soap while exfoliating but the ones I tried before this brand were way too rough to use on a daily basis, my skin would be red after showering. When I saw the type of material these soap bags were made of, it looked to be more gentle so I decided to give it a try. I've only used the white soap bag a few times now but I love it. It fits my Dove soap bar perfectly (other soap bags were too large), still creates a nice rich lather and best of all the material is so much more gentle than the other soap bags I've tried so I'm able to use it regularly without feeling like I'm scraping my skin off. I was hesitant to buy these due to the lack of reviews but I'm glad I did, with how amazing this product is I hope more people find these and try them out. I plan to buy a few more packs in case they ever stop making these, the price is very reasonable as well.

sub-optimal design
Size is a bit too small for anything bigger than an average bar of soap, so the soap doesn't move around enough to make good suds. the inside is also too textured, and the soap sticks to the inside of the pouch. good quality and sturdy stitching however.
