FILE - In this Oct. 2, 2000, file photo, worshippers kneel at the crypt of Saint Katharine Drexel a day after she was canonized at the Vatican as the second American-born saint, at her national shrine on the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament's suburban Philadelphia estate in Bensalem, Pa. The Roman Catholic religious order, founded by Drexel in 1891, announced Tuesday, May 3, 2016, that it is selling the estate and plans to keep the shrine open through 2017, before moving the tomb to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul in Philadelphia. The order will also sell 2,000 acres in Powhatan, Va., the site of two now-closed schools for black students. (AP Photo/Dan Loh, File)
