Welcome to the 12th season of Holy Donors! We just finished up our season on JFK, and we return with another Kenedy, a Kenedy with one N and with no relation to the Kennedy family from last season. We spend this season learning about the life and philanthropy of Sarita Kenedy East.
Our hosts open by sharing that Sarita Kenedy East was “the granddaughter of one of the authentic giants in southwestern history,” Captain Mifflin Kenedy. Captain Mifflin is a steamboat captain, an astute businessman, and an empire builder; and he is the focus of this episode as our hosts set the stage for the times in which Sarita lived and the family that surrounded her.
As we will see throughout this season, Sarita Kenedy East grew up on the South Texas frontier, surrounded by a large, chaotic family, with sometimes threatening circumstances. Despite the turmoil around her, Sarita remains calm, steady, and faithful. We hope you’ll join us as we share the story of how Sarita maintains her faith in the face of adversity and discover the magnitude of her philanthropic work.
