Remarkable Philadelphia Mission Builder Mrs. Emma D Lewis
Mrs. Emma D Lewis of 1482 Cambridge Street, a washwoman who started a Catholic Sunday School in 1901, grew it to a parish mission serving over 200. Her work helped establish Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church on Broad Street, aided by Arch Bishop Ryan and Mother Catherine Drexel. Pope Pius X later sent a blessed cross to her.
