Frances Xavier Cabrini MSC (Italian: Francesca Saverio Cabrini (birth name), July 15, 1850 – December 22, 1917), also known as Mother Cabrini, was a prominent Italian-American, Catholic who was a religious sister. She founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a religious institute that provides education, health care, and other services to the poor in 15 nations. During her lifetime, Cabrini established schools, orphanages and other social service institutions in both Italy and the United States.
Born in Italy, Cabrini migrated to the United States in 1887 and became a naturalized American citizen in 1909. On July 7, 1946, Cabrini became the first American citizen to be canonized a saint by the Catholic Church. The Vatican in 1950 named her as the patron saint of immigrants.
Cabrini's annual feast day in the United States is November 13, her beatification day. In other nations, her feast day is December 22, the day she died.
Early life
She was born Maria Francesca Cabrini on July 15, 1850, in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, in the Province of Lodi of Lombardy, then part of the Austrian Empire. She was the youngest of the 13 children of farmer Agostino Cabrini and his wife Stella Oldini. Only four of her siblings survived beyond adolescence.
Born two months prematurely, Frances Cabrini was small and weak as a child and remained in delicate health throughout her life. During her childhood, she visited an uncle, Don Luigi Oldini of Livraga, a priest who lived beside a canal. While in Livrage, she made little paper boats, dropped violets she called "missionaries" in the boats, and launched them in the stream to sail to India and China.
At age 13, Cabrini attended a school in Arluno, Lombardy, that was run by the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Five years later, she graduated cum laude from the school with a teaching certificate. After Cabrini's parents died in 1870, she applied for admission to the Daughters of the Sacred Heart at Arluno. However, the sisters rejected Cabrini because they believed her health wasn't strong enough.
In 1875, a priest in Codogno, Lombardy, invited Cabrinit to open and run the an orphanage in that town. However, her efforts were thwarted by the two women who actually owned the orphanage. While at the orphanage, she assembled a small community of women with the aim of creating a religious home. Cabrini took religious vows in 1877 and added Xavier (Saverio) to her name to honor Reverend Francis Xavier, the patron saint of missionary service. Like Xavier, Cabrini still wanted to become a missionary in East Asia.
In 1880, the bishop of the Diocese of Lodi, Monsignor Domenico Gelmini, told Cabrini that she should pursue her dream of becoming a missionary, but did not know of any religious orders that trained them. Cabrini said she would start her own order. That same year, Cabrini bought a former Franciscan convent in Codogno. In November 1880, she and several other women left the orphanage to found the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC).
At the Codogno convent, the sisters took in orphans and foundlings, opened a day school, started classes in needlework, and sold their fine embroidery. The institute eventually established seven homes, a free school and nursery in Lombardy in its first five years. The accomplishments of the institute brought Cabrini to the attention of Pope Leo XIII.
Mission to United States
_-_stained_glass,_St._Frances_Xavier_Cabrini.jpg)
In September 1887, Cabrini went to Rome to seek Leo XII's approval to establish missions in China. Instead, he urged her to go to the United States, which was then being flooded with large numbers of impoverish Italian immigrants needing help. Leo told Cabrini "Not to the East, but to the West".
Cabrini left for the United States, arriving in New York City on March 31, 1889, along with six other sisters. In New York she encountered disappointment and difficulties. Archbishop Michael Corrigan, who was not immediately supportive, found them housing at the convent of the Sisters of Charity. She obtained the archbishop's permission to found the Sacred Heart Orphan Asylum in rural West Park, New York, later renamed Saint Cabrini Home.
Cabrini organized catechism and education classes for the Italian immigrants and provided for many orphans' needs. She established schools and orphanages despite tremendous odds. She was as resourceful as she was prayerful, finding people who would donate what she needed in money, time, labor, and support. In New York City, she founded Columbus Hospital, which merged with Italian Hospital to become Cabrini Medical Center from 1973 until its closure in 2008.
In Chicago, Illinois, the sisters opened Columbus Hospital in Lincoln Park and Columbus Extension Hospital (later renamed Saint Cabrini Hospital) in the heart of the city's Italian neighborhood on the Near West Side. Both hospitals eventually closed. Their foundress's name lives on in Chicago's Cabrini Street.
She founded 67 missionary institutions to serve the sick and poor, long before government agencies provided extensive social services – in New York; Chicago and Des Plaines, Illinois; Seattle; New Orleans; Denver and Golden, Colorado; Los Angeles; Philadelphia; and in countries throughout Latin America and Europe. In 1926, nine years after her death, the Missionary Sisters achieved Cabrini's original goal of becoming missionaries to China.
Cabrini was naturalized as a United States citizen in 1909.
Death
Frances Cabrini died from chronic endocarditis at age 67 at Columbus Hospital in Chicago on December 22, 1917. She was initially interred at the Saint Cabrini Home in West Park, New York. Her remains were exhumed and removed in 1933.
Veneration
In 1921, Peter Smith was born in Columbus Hospital in New York. He was blinded when a nurse accidentally administered a 50% silver nitrate solution into his eyes. The doctors said that Smith's corneas were destroyed and that he was permanently blind. The mother superior of the hospital later touched a relic of Cabrini to his eyes and the nurse who committed the mistake prayed to Cabrini to help him. When the doctors examined Smith a second time, his eyes were normal.
In 1933, the Missionary Sisters exhumed Cabrini's body and divided it as part of her canonization process. They sent her head to the chapel of the congregation's motherhouse in Rome. Her heart went to Codogno and her arm bone to the National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini in Chicago. The sisters sent most of her body to the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine in New York City.
Cabrini was beatified on November 13, 1938, by Pope Pius XI. Smith, whose blindness cure became Cabrini's beatification miracle later became a priest, attended the ceremony.
Pope Pius XII canonized Cabrini on July 7, 1946. Her canonization miracle involved the purported healing of a terminally ill member of her congregation. After Cabrini was canonized, an estimated 120,000 people attended a mass of thanksgiving at Soldier Field in Chicago.
In the Roman Martyrology, her feast day is December 22, the anniversary of her death, the day ordinarily chosen as a saint's feast day. Following the reforms in Pope John XXIII's Code of Rubrics, the United States since 1961 has celebrated Cabrini's feast on November 13, the anniversary of her beatification, to avoid conflicting with the greater ferias of Advent.
In 1950, Pius XII named Cabrini as the patron saint of immigrants, recognizing her efforts on their behalf across the Americas in schools, orphanages, hospitals, and prisons.
Cabrini is also informally recognized as an effective intercessor for finding a parking space. As one priest explained: "She lived in New York City. She understands traffic."
Shrines
National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini

After Cabrini's death, her convent room at Columbus Hospital, in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, became a popular destination for the faithful seeking personal healing and spiritual comfort. Due to the overwhelming number of pilgrims after her canonization in 1946, the Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Samuel Stritch, commissioned a large National Shrine in her honor within the hospital complex. He dedicated the shrine in 1955.
The hospital and shrine closed in 2002 to be replaced by a high-rise development on North Lakeview Avenue. Still, the shrine and Cabrini's room were preserved and refurbished during the long demolition and construction period. They were solemnly blessed and re-dedicated by Cardinal Francis George on September 30, 2012, and reopened to the public the next day. The shrine is an architectural gem of gold mosaics, Carrara marble, frescoes, and Florentine stained glass, functioning as a stand-alone center for prayer, worship, spiritual care, and pilgrimage.
Mother Cabrini Shrine
The Mother Cabrini Shrine is located on Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado. Cabrini purchased the property in 1910 to serve as a summer camp for the girls from her Queen of Heaven Orphanage in Denver. She built the Stone House in 1914 to serve as the girls dormitory.
After Cabrini's canonization in 1946, the Missionary Sisters converted the summer camp into the Mother Cabrini Shrine. It contains a footpath up Lookout Mountain, marked with the Stations of the Cross, that ends at a 22-foot (7 m) statue of Jesus. The shrine campus includes a convent, visitor accommodations, a chapel and an exhibit of Cabrini artifacts. The statues and stained-glass windows in the chapel came from Villa Cabrini Academy in Burbank, California.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine
The St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine, located in Hudson Heights neighborhood of New York City, houses her remains. Cabrini purchased the property in 1899 to establish a school for the girls of wealthy families. In 1930, the Missionary Sisters established the Mother Cabrini High School on the site. They moved her remains in 1938 to a glass-enclosed coffin under the altar of the school chapel.
Cabrini's canonization in 1946 brought a huge influx of visitors to the chapel. To accommodate them, the sisters in 1960 moved her remains to a separate shrine building. They now reside in a large bronze-and-glass reliquary casket in the shrine's altar. Her body is covered with her religious habit and a sculpted face mask and hands for viewing.
Other shrines
- The Mother Cabrini Shrine at St George's Cathedral in London, was dedicated by Archbishop Kevin McDonald in 2009. Cabrini worshipped at St. George while staying in London. The shrine occupies a former confessional in the cathedral and contains a bronze sculpture of Carbrini watching over migrants who stand on a pile of suitcases.
- The Mother Cabrini Shrine in Burbank, California is located near the site of the former Villa Cabrini Academy, founded by her order. The shrine consists of a chapel that Cabrini founded in a different location in Burbank in 1916. The Italian Catholic Federation relocated the chapel to St. Francis Xavier Church in 1973 to save it from demolition. The federation added a library wing to the shrine in 1993.
- The Shrine of Mother Cabrini is located on the campus of the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Lewiston, New York.
