"As an ordained [Huh????] nun, Drexel could not control or manage her own finances, but as the head of her own order, she could direct and channel her fortune directly to impoverished blacks and Native Americans in the U.S.....At its height, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament had some 600 members. Today, there are 104 sisters, half of them retired, according to the order. Drexel was canonized as a saint in October 2000, following two reported miracles involving deaf children...who suddenly gained hearing."
