Brother Knight In The Knights of Columbus

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
	Feast Day: Roman Rite Calendar - 12/22 Tridentine Calendar - 12/22 Patron Of: Emigrants, Hospital Administrators, Immigrants, Orphans Profile One of thirteen children raised on a farm. She received a convent education, and training as a teacher. She tried to join the order at age 18, but poor health prevented her taking the veil. A priest asked her to teach at a girl's school, the House of Providence Orphanage in Cadagono, Italy, which she did for six years. Took religious vows in 1877, and acquitted herself so well at her work that when the orphanage closed in 1880, her bishop asked her to found the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for poor children in schools and hospitals. Pope Leo XIII then sent her to the United States to carry on this mission. She and six Sisters arrived in New York in 1889. They worked among immigrants, especially Italians. Mother Cabrini founded 67 institutions, including schools, hospitals, and orphanages in the United States, Europe and South America. Like many of the people she worked with, Mother became a United States citizen during her life, and after her death she was the first US citizen to be canonized. Born 1850 at Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, Lombardy, Italy Died 22 December 1917 at Chicago, Illinois, USA of malaria; interred at 701 Fort Washington Avenue, New York, New York, USA Beatified 13 November 1938; her beatification miracle involved the restoration of sight to a child who had been blinded by excess silver nitrate in the eyes Canonized 7 July 1946 by Pope Pius XII; her canonization miracle involved the healing of a terminally ill nun See Related Items All information used with permission of the Patron Saint Index.
