I was peripherally involved with it, and IIRC they were both hearing related in children. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 11:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further work needed

I did a fairly heavy copy edit of this entry today, Mother Katherine's feast day. Most importantly I put it into chronological order, and cut some of the passive constructions. However, I don't have time to do the heavy citation work needed. I noticed lots of citations to Finney, with no page cites. Plus, the article's Sources section lists a completely different book (I presume) by Ellen Terry. I think it's pretty sad that article doesn't explain her father's link to the sisters of the sacred heart, nor her break with the sisters of mercy, or her biological sisters' careers, but my time has limits, of course....Jweaver28 (talk) 14:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Information

Katherine Drexel was Not the first American born saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton was. Seton was canonized by Pope Paul VI, Drexel was canonized by Pope John Paul II. 2601:18E:C080:2560:D080:4C5F:C100:1F22 (talk) 00:52, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry.

Elizabeth Ann Seton was the FIRST American born saint. She was born in New York City. Kathararine Drexel was the SECOND American born saint. 2601:18E:C080:2560:D080:4C5F:C100:1F22 (talk) 00:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate information

The line of text: "She was a distant cousin of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis on her father's side." is incorrect. Katharine Drexel's link to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is through her step-mother Emma Bouvier. Emma Bouvier and John Vernou Bouvier were two of the children of Michel Bouvier & his wife Louise Clifford Vernou. John is the great-grandfather of Jacqueline Bouvier. Emma would be Jacqueline Bouvier's step-great-great aunt.
