Catholic Housing and Community Services, a ministry of Catholic Charities of Philadelphia, held a groundbreaking blessing Sept. 29 for St. Katharine Drexel Place. Bishop John J. McIntyre blessed the grounds of the 48-unit facility which will provide affordable housing for independent seniors in Northeast Philadelphia. St. Katharine Drexel Place is adjacent to Archbishop Ryan High School and involves the substantial rehabilitation of the former three-story school friary building as well as the construction of a new three-story addition.
