'''Frances Xavier Cabrini''' {{post-nominals|post-noms=[[Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus|MSC]]}} ({{langx|it|Francesca Saverio Cabrini}}; born '''Maria Francesca Cabrini'''; 15 July 1850&nbsp;– 22 December 1917), also known as '''Mother Cabrini''', was a prominent Italian-American [[religious sister]] in the Roman Catholic Church. She was the first American to be recognized by the Vatican as a saint.

Cabrini founded the [[Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus]] (MSC), a [[religious institute]] that today provides education, health care, and other services to the poor in 15 nations.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Maynard |first=Theodore |title=Too Small a World: The Life of Mother Frances Cabrini |date=1945 |publisher=Ignatius Press |isbn=978-1-62164-704-1 |location=San Francisco |publication-date=2024}}</ref> During her lifetime, Cabrini established 67 schools, orphanages and other social service institutions in Italy, the United States and other nations. She became a revered and influential figure in the Catholic hierarchy in the United States and Rome.

Born in Italy, Cabrini migrated to the United States in 1887. Despite [[Anti-Italianism|anti-Italian]] prejudice and opposition within the Catholic Church, she successfully established charitable institutions in New York City for poor Italian immigrants.  She later extended these efforts to Italian immigrant populations across the United States. Catholic leaders were soon calling on her to create missions in Latin America and Europe.

Cabrini became a [[United States nationality law|naturalized]] American citizen in 1909.<ref name="stella">{{Cite web |date=2020-04-07 |title=St. Frances Xavier Cabrini - Missionary to the Immigrants {{!}} Florida State Council |url=http://floridakorc2.org/press-release/st-frances-xavier-cabrini-missionary-immigrants |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407111421/http://floridakorc2.org/press-release/st-frances-xavier-cabrini-missionary-immigrants |url-status=dead |archive-date=2020-04-07 |access-date=2025-01-07 }}</ref> After her death in 1917, her order started a campaign for her sainthood.

==Life in Italy==

=== Early years ===
Maria Francesca Cabrini was born on 15 July 1850, in [[Sant'Angelo Lodigiano]], in the [[Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia]], then part of the [[Austrian Empire]]. She was the youngest of the 13 children of farmer Agostino Cabrini and his wife Stella Oldini.<ref name="SanJose">{{Cite web |date=2009-08-30 |title=Our Patron Saint |url=http://www.sfcabrini.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=61 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830023513/http://www.sfcabrini.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=61 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-08-30 |access-date=2025-01-07 }}</ref> Only four of her siblings survived beyond adolescence.<ref name="Humanities" />

Born two months prematurely, Frances Cabrini was small and weak as a child and remained in delicate health throughout her life.<ref name="Humanities"/> During her childhood, she visited an uncle, Don Luigi Oldini of [[Livraga]], a priest who lived beside a canal. While in Livraga, 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. Cabrini made her first holy communion at age nine.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Mother Cabrini, the First American Saint of the Catholic Church |url=https://www.neh.gov/article/mother-cabrini-first-american-saint-catholic-church#:~:text=Her%20posthumous%20miracles%20included%20the,Cabrini%20was%20canonized%20a%20saint. |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=National Endowment for the Humanities |language=en}}</ref> On one occasion, she fell into the river and was swept downstream. Her rescuers found her on a riverbank. Cabrini attributed her rescue to divine intervention.<ref name=":10">{{Cite journal |last=Rademacher |first=Nicholas |date=2017 |title=Commemorating the Centennial of Mother Cabrini’s Death |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26529106?read-now=1&seq=4#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=American Catholic Studies |volume=128 |issue=3 |pages=111–124 |issn=2161-8542}}</ref>
[[File:Piazza Pozzobonelli foto drone 30 marzo 2014.jpg|thumb|287x287px|Arluno, Italy, where Cabrini attended school (2014)]]
Cabrini's older sister Rosa was a teacher, which influenced her to follow the same career path.<ref name=":10" /> At age 13, Cabrini attended a school in [[Arluno]], Lombardy, that was run by the [[Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus]]. In 1868, she graduated ''[[Wiktionary:cum laude|cum laude]]'' from the school with a teaching certificate and returned to Sant'Angelo Lodigiano to teach at the parish school.<ref name="Crawley">{{Cite web |date=2019-05-30 |title=Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini |url=http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/CABRINI.HTM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530180427/http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/CABRINI.HTM |url-status=dead |archive-date=2019-05-30 |access-date=2025-01-07 }}</ref> She later worked for three more years as a substitute teacher at a school in [[Castiraga Vidardo]] in Lombardy.

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.<ref name="chss">{{Cite web |title=Catholic Home Study Service - Frances Xavier Cabrini 1850-1917 |url=http://www.cin.org/kc87-2.html |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=www.cin.org}}</ref> In 1872, while working with the sick during a smallpox outbreak, she contracted the disease and was rejected by the [[Canossians|Canossian Sisters]] of Crema, again for health reasons.<ref name=":3" /> It was reported, however, that the priest in Cabrini's parish asked the two orders to deny her application because he did not want to lose her as a teacher.<ref name=":10" />

=== Orphanage in Italy ===
[[File:Giovanni Battista Scalabrini.jpg|thumb|Bishop Scalabrini|258x258px]]
In 1874, a priest in [[Codogno]], Lombardy, invited Cabrini to take over a poorly-run orphanage operated by the [[Sisters of Providence of the Immaculate Conception|Sisters of Providence]] in that town. After arriving in Codogno, Cabrini took religious vows into Sisters of Providence, finally achieving her goal of becoming a religious sister. She added Xavier (''Saverio'' in Italian) to her name to honor Reverend [[Francis Xavier]], the [[patron saint]] of missionary service. Like Xavier, her ultimate ambition was to become a missionary in [[East Asia]].<ref name="stella" /> However, the two Providence sisters in charge of the orphanage finances were jealous of Cabrini and worked to thwart her actions.<ref name=":10" />

In 1880, due to their turmoil, the Providence Sisters in Codogno dissolved and the orphanage closed.<ref name=":10" /> Cabrini then spoke with the bishop of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Lodi|Diocese of Lodi]], Domenico Gelmini, about her future. He told Cabrini that she should pursue her dream of becoming a missionary, but that did not know of any religious orders that would train her. Cabrini responded by saying that she would start her own missionary order.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Museo Cabriniano di Codogno - Home |url=http://www.museocabriniano.it/index.php?section=centrospiritualita&ln=en |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=www.museocabriniano.it}}</ref>

Cabrini bought a former [[Franciscans|Franciscan]] convent in Codogno. With several of the former Providence sisters, Cabrini in November 1880 founded the Institute of the Salesian Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC).<ref name="Foley">{{Cite web |title=Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini - Franciscan Media |url=https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-frances-xavier-cabrini/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20201008010609/https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-frances-xavier-cabrini/ |archive-date=2020-10-08 |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=www.franciscanmedia.org |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Museo Cabriniano di Codogno - Home |url=http://www.museocabriniano.it/index.php?section=lacasadicodogno&ln=en |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=www.museocabriniano.it}}</ref> At the Codogno convent, the MSC sisters took in orphans and [[foundlings]], opened a day school, started classes in [[needlework]], and sold their fine [[embroidery]].<ref name="Crawley" /> Over the next five years, the MSC sisters established seven homes, a free school and a nursery in Lombardy.

In early 1887, with the blessing of Bishop [[Giovanni Battista Scalabrini|Giovanni Scalabrini]] of [[Piacenza]], Cabrini opened a convent in [[Castel San Giovanni]] in the [[Emilia-Romagna]] region. Scalabrini had recently founded the  [[Scalabrinians|Scalabrinian]] Missionaries, an order of priests to perform missionary work with Italian immigrants in New York City. He believed that the MSC sisters would be of tremendous assistance to the priests in their work. He asked Cabrini to consider opening an orphanage in New York. Countess Mary Reid DiCesnola, a wealthy Catholic socialite in Manhattan, had been relentlessly petitioning both the pope and Archbishop [[Michael Corrigan]] of New York to open an orphanage there for Italian girls, which she would fund. Cabrini still wanted to go to Asia, but also wanted to open a religious home in Rome and gain papal approval for MSC. She allowed Scalabrini set up a meeting with [[Pope Leo XIII]].<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal |last=DiGiovanni |first=Stephen Michael |date=1991 |title=Mother Cabrini: Early Years in New York |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25023477?read-now=1&seq=3#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=The Catholic Historical Review |volume=77 |issue=1 |pages=56–77 |issn=0008-8080}}</ref>

==Papal recognition==
[[File:Fresco caselle landi chuch 03 mother cabrini and pope leo XIII.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Mother Cabrini meets Pope [[Leo XIII|Leo XIII]] (1887). Fresco by [[Luigi Arzuffi]], at the Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Caselle Landi, Italy]]
In September 1887, Cabrini went to Rome to meet Leo XIII. She asked him for permission to set up a convent in Rome, which he readily gave. She also asked for permission to send missions to Asia. However, Leo XIII was thinking of a different destination.<ref name=":10" />

During the 1880s, the pope and the rest of the Roman Curia were worried about the large numbers of impoverished Italian immigrants emigrating to New York. Leo was concerned that these Catholics would leave the Church unless they received material assistance and spiritual guidance. Instead of allowing Cabrini to go to China, Leo XIII told her, go "...not to the East, but to the West..." to New York City.<ref name="Foley" />

In December 1888, Cabrini committed to going to New York City. The pope also recognized the MSC as a missionary institute, the first group of Italian religious sisters to receive that approval. Scalabrini promised Cabrini that his religious order, Scalabrinians would greet the MSC sisters in New York City, take care of their needs, and work closely with them.<ref name=":10" />

== Mission in New York ==

=== Arrival ===
Corrigan wrote to Cabrini in February 1889, welcoming her to New York City, but advising her to delay her departure to allow more time for preparation. However, when the letter reached Italy, Cabrini was already gone.<ref name=":6" /> At age 38, Cabrini sailed for the United States, arriving in New York City on March 31, 1889, with six other MSC sisters.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Rothman |first=Lily |title=How Mother Cabrini Became the First American Saint |date=July 6, 2016 |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |department=Faith |url=https://time.com/4380994/frances-cabrini-first-american-saint/ |access-date=March 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170304154524/http://time.com/4380994/frances-cabrini-first-american-saint/ |archive-date=March 4, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> When they disembarked from the ship, the  Scalabrinians were not there. Furthermore, they had failed to set up accommodations for them. The sisters spent their first night in the United States in a decrepit [[rooming house]] with [[Cimex|bed bugs]] in the mattresses, forcing them to sleep on chairs.<ref name=":3"/><ref name="Foley" /><ref name="Humanities" />

During this period, the Catholic hierarchy and clergy in New York City were dominated by Irish immigrants who share a common prejudice against Italians. Many of the Irish Catholics considered the Italians to be dirty, superstitious and almost pagan. Many of the Irish-run parishes segregated Italian worshippers in church basements. The archdiocese had very few Italian priests, hindering communication with the Italians.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> Corrigan, also Irish, believed that only men were suitable for missionary work with immigrants. He had wanted the Vatican to just send him Italian priests, not religious sisters.

=== Meeting with archbishop ===
[[File:Archbishop Michael Corrigan.jpg|thumb|294x294px|Archbishop Corrigan (before 1902)]]
The day after arriving in New York, Cabrini and the other sisters walked into Corrigan's office. Totally surprised that they were in New York, Corrigan told Cabrini that the archdiocese was unready for them and that they should immediately return to Italy. Cabrini refused to go back, simply saying, “I have letters from the pope”, and gave her letters of introduction to Corrigan. Unwilling to defy a papal mandate, Corrigan could not force the MSC sisters to leave.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />

Corrigan asked Cabrini to establish a school for Italians first and wait on the orphanage.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web |title=Saint of immigrants was almost sent back to her home country |url=https://aleteia.org/2017/11/13/how-the-patron-saint-of-immigrants-was-almost-sent-back-to-her-home-country |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=Aleteia — Catholic Spirituality, Lifestyle, World News, and Culture |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":6" /> After the meeting with Corrigan, the [[Sisters of Charity of New York|Sisters of Charity]] in the [[The Bronx|Bronx]] gladly provided temporary residence for Cabrini and her entourage at their convent.<ref name=":10" /> After much delay, the Scalabrinian priests provided a rundown convent for the MSC sisters in the [[Five Points, Manhattan|Five Points]] area of Manhattan.

=== Mission work ===
[[File:Mulberry Street NYC c1900 LOC 3g04637u edit.jpg|thumb|Little Italy, New York City (1900)]]
Soon after their arrival in the city, the MSC sisters started experiencing degrading, anti-Italian slurs and insults. Cabrini wrote back to the sisters in Italy, asking that they send over fabrics for the making of additional veils and habits. She wanted her sisters to be cleanly dressed, “otherwise they will call us ‘guinea-pigs’ the way they do to the Italians here.”<ref name=":11">{{Cite web |last=Moses |first=Paul |date=2024-01-04 |title=Scrappy, but happy days |url=https://www.cabriniworld.org/blog/scrappy-but-happy-days/ |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus |language=en-US}}</ref>

Cabrini and the MSC sisters started knocking on tenement doors in [[Little Italy, Manhattan|Little Italy]] in Manhattan. At that time, many Italian immigrants in New York were suspicious of the institutional Catholic Church, sentiments fostered by the government of the newly unified Italy. Their loyalties lay more with their personal saints. In addition, as most of the immigrants came from [[Sicily]], [[Calabria]] and other southern regions, they were initially suspicious of the MSC sisters, who all originated from Lombardy in [[Northern Italy]].<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />

With the help of sisters from the other religious orders in New York, the MSC sisters started tending the sick, teaching children and feeding the hungry.  They set up a makeshift school for 200 children in the balcony of a local Catholic church.<ref name=":11" /> Soon the merchants in Little Italy started providing the sisters with food and funding to support their mission.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />

With Corrigan's blessing and funding from DiCesnola, Cabrini opened the Sacred Heart Orphan Asylum on the [[Lower East Side]] of Manhattan. This was her first orphanage in the United States.  However, the high cost of running the orphanage in the city, plus increasing friction with Corrigan, soon prompted Cabrini to move it to the countryside.

=== First orphanage in United States ===
[[File:West Park circa 1890.jpg|thumb|St. Cabrini Home, West Park, New York (1890)|246x246px]]
In 1890, Cabrini purchased a property from the [[Jesuits]] in [[West Park, New York]], where she relocated the orphanage. She also established an MSC novitiate  on the property. The West Park campus became St. Cabrini Home, the MSC headquarters in the United States and a boarding school.<ref name=":5" /> At that time, other orphanages would automatically force girls to leave once they turned age 14. Cabrini refused to do that. She insisted that the orphanages only discharge the girls if they were placed with an adoptive family or trained to earn an independent living.<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal |last=Sullivan |first=Mary Louise |date=1987 |title=Mother Cabrini: Missionary to Italian Immigrants |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25153802?read-now=1&seq=8#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=U.S. Catholic Historian |volume=6 |issue=4 |pages=265–279 |issn=0735-8318}}</ref>

Cabrini once wrote:<blockquote>“What we as women cannot do on a large scale to help solve grave social ills is being done in our small sphere of influence in every state and city where we have opened houses. In them we shelter and care for orphans, the sick and the poor.”</blockquote>Although she moved the MSC order to West Park, Cabrini continued to work in New York City. The Scalabrinians thwarted her efforts to build a school there. However, she joined with them in 1890 to build the first hospital in the city for Italians. She brought ten MSC sisters from Italy to staff the hospital, which opened in 1891.

== Other missions ==
[[File:1891 New Orleans Italian lynching.jpg|thumb|Lynching of 11 Italian immigrants In New Orleans, Louisiana (1891)|350x350px]]
As Cabrini's reputation grew, she started receiving requests for help on Catholic projects outside New York for both Italian and non-Italian Catholics. She sailed in 1891 to [[Nicaragua]] to open a religious house. While there, she traveled by boat into a remote area to visit a settlement of [[Miskito people]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sullivan |first=Mary Louise |date=2005 |title=St. Frances Xavier Cabrini 'Patroness of Immigrants' |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44194968?read-now=1&seq=4#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=American Catholic Studies |volume=116 |issue=4 |pages=81–84 |issn=2161-8542}}</ref> Arriving in [[Chile]], she traveled by mule over the [[Andes]] Mountains to found schools in [[Brazil]] and [[Argentina]]. She also went to [[Grenada]] to start a school.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal |last=O'Sullivan |first=Donal |date=1946 |title=St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Canonised July 7 1946 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/30100096?read-now=1&seq=6#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=Studies: An Irish Quarterly Review |volume=35 |issue=139 |pages=351–356 |issn=0039-3495}}</ref>

The final destination in her first mission trip was New Orleans in 1892, where she set up another school for Italians. The area was a hotbed of [[Anti-Catholicism|anti-Catholic sentiment]], combined with [[racial discrimination]] against immigrants from Southern Italy, who locals believed did not "look White" In 1891, a large mob forcibly removed [[1891 New Orleans lynchings|11 Italian men]] in jail and killed them. The MSC sisters established a mission in the poorest Italian neighborhood in the city.<ref name=":10" />

Cabrini was forced to return early to New York from New Orleans in later 1892 because the new hospital there was facing closure. The Scalabrinians had mismanaged the hospital and were trying to transfer its debts to MSC. After pulling the sisters from that hospital, she spent $250 to found the Columbus Hospital in Manhattan. Tired of the conflicts with the Scalabrinian leadership, she cut all ties between them and MSC in 1892.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":10" />

During the early 1890s, Cabrini established schools for Italian communities in Manhattan, the Bronx, [[Newark, New Jersey]], and [[Scranton, Pennsylvania]]. Cabrini returned to Louisiana in 1895 and established missions in [[Metairie, Louisiana|Metairie]], Harvey Canal and [[Kenner, Louisiana|Kenner]]. The MSC sisters traveling by mule through rural towns and villages to minister to Catholics. They would visit local hospitals and act as interpreters for Italian patients who could not speak English.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sullivan |first=Mary Louise |date=1987 |title=Mother Cabrini: Missionary to Italian Immigrants |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25153802?read-now=1&seq=5#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=U.S. Catholic Historian |volume=6 |issue=4 |pages=265–279 |issn=0735-8318}}</ref>

While in [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina, in 1896, Cabrini made these comments about how she coped with all of her work.<blockquote>“Prayer and interior silence are great necessities for the person who is occupied with a thousand concerns: speaking, listening, hearing, giving of herself even to many good things...Prayer and silence bring her to that mystical rest."<ref name=":10" /></blockquote>

=== Later years ===

Cabrini arrived in Chicago in 1899 to work with the large Italian population in that city. Her next stop in 1902 was in [[Denver]], Colorado, followed by a trip to [[Seattle]], Washington, in 1903.<ref name=":7" />

In 1907, Cabrini stopped in Philadelphia to have dinner with Mother [[Katharine Drexel|Katherine Drexel]], who had established numerous Catholic missions and schools through the United States for [[African Americans|African-Americans]] and [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]]. Cabrini had wanted to personally thank Drexel for her helping an MSC sister in Philadelphia. In a very amiable conversation, Drexel told Cabrini that the Vatican bureaucracy was stymieing her religious order on a legal matter. Believing in direct action, Cabrini told her to personally go to Rome and stay there until the Vatican resolved the problem. Drexel took her advice and succeeded in her mission.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Puleo |first=Gus |date=2018 |title=A Holy Encounter |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26529152?read-now=1&seq=6#page_scan_tab_contents |journal=American Catholic Studies |volume=129 |issue=1 |pages=91–101 |issn=2161-8542}}</ref>

Cabrini was [[United States nationality law|naturalized]] as a United States citizen in 1909. She applied for citizenship to assure the legal foundation of the MSC order after her death and to demonstrate solidarity with the Americans that she served.<ref name="stella" /><ref name=":10" />

Cabrini in 1911 opened a second Columbus Hospital in the Italian neighborhood in [[Lincoln Park, Chicago|Lincoln Park]] in Chicago. However, some neighbors were unhappy with the new hospital, fearing that it would lower property values. During its construction in the winter, a vandal cut the water mains, flooding the construction site.  When the Columbus Extension Hospital was being built on the [[Near West Side, Chicago|Near West Side]], an [[arson]] attack on its grounds was thwarted.<ref name="Humanities" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Attaway |first=Julia |date=2023-11-17 |title=Sabotage! |url=https://cabrinishrinenyc.org/sabotage/ |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=Cabrini Shrine NYC |language=en-US}}</ref>

In early second quarter 1912, Cabrini and several MSC sisters were visiting [[Naples]], Italy. To return to the United States, they booked passage on the maiden voyage of the RMS [[Titanic]] to New York. However, after hearing about problems with the Columbus Extension Hospital in Chicago, Cabrini switched their bookings to an earlier voyage on a different ship. The Titanic sank in the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic]] with a massive loss of life on April 15 of that year. During her lifetime, Cabrini made 24 transatlantic crossings.<ref>{{Cite web |last=CNA |title=Mother Frances Cabrini: The unsinkable saint who missed the Titanic |url=https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/260399/mother-frances-cabrini-the-unsinkable-saint-who-missed-the-titanic |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=Catholic News Agency |language=en}}</ref>

On one of her final trips, Cabrini visited [[Southern California]] in 1916. She constructed a chapel above the [[San Fernando Valley]] on Mount Raphael to protect the residents from [[wildfire]]s. It was relocated in 1970 to Burbank, California, to become part of the Mother Cabrini Shrine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mother Cabrini Shrine (Burbank, California) – The Italian Catholic Federation |url=https://www.icf.org/about/cabrini/ |access-date=2025-01-09 |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Death and legacy==
[[File:Columbus Hospital, Chicago in 1922.png|thumb|246x246px|Columbus Hospital, Chicago, Illinois (1922)]]
In failing health, Cabrini traveled to Chicago in 1917 to be cared for by the MSC sisters there. On 21 December 1917, she was wrapping sweets she bought as Christmas gifts for children at the Italian school.  However, the next day she suddenly got sick and was rushed to Columbus Hospital. She died there on 22 December from chronic [[endocarditis]] at age 67.<ref name=SanJose/><ref name=":8" />

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 [[cornea]]s were destroyed and that he was permanently blind. The [[mother superior]] of the hospital later touched a relic of Cabrini to his eyes and pinned a medal of Cabrini to his gown. The nurse who gave Smith the eyedrops prayed for the intercession of Cabrini to help him. When the doctors examined Smith 72 hours later, his eyes were normal. Smith then survived a severe bout of [[pneumonia]]. The Vatican cited this case as a miracle in 1938.<ref>{{cite news |last=Connolly |first=Seán |date=November 12, 2019 |title=The age of miracles has not passed |url=https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2019/11/12/the-age-of-miracles-has-not-passed/ |work=Catholic World Report}}</ref><ref name=":9">{{Cite news |date=1938-08-04 |title=MOTHER CABRINI TO BE BEATIFIED; Decree to Be Read on Saturday in the Presence of the Pope |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1938/08/04/archives/mother-cabrini-to-be-beatified-decree-to-be-read-on-saturday-in-the.html?searchResultPosition=18 |access-date=2025-01-09 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Sister Delphina Grazioli, an MSC sister, was dying after four surgical procedures in Seattle from 1925 to 1929.  She saw a vision of Cabrini and then made a miraculous recovery. The Vatican accepted this also in 1938 as a miracle from Cabrini.<ref name=":9" />

In 1933, the MSC exhumed Cabrini's body and divided it as part of her canonization process. They sent her head to the MSC [[motherhouse]] in Rome for display in its chapel. Her heart went to Codogno and her arm bone to the National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini in Chicago. The sisters sent the rest of her remains to the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine in New York City.<ref name="NYT2015">{{cite news |last=Luongo |first=Michael |date=February 6, 2015 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/08/nyregion/in-upper-manhattan-restoring-the-golden-halo-of-mother-cabrini.html |title=In Upper Manhattan, Restoring the Golden Halo of Mother Cabrini |newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref>

Citing the Smith and Grazioli cures, Pope Pius XI [[Beatification|beatified]] Cabrini on 13 November 1938. Smith, now a priest, attended the ceremony.

{{Main|National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini}}
The National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini is located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. When the shrine was founded in 1955, it was located within the Columbus Hospital complex in Chicago. Cabrini had founded the hospital in 1905, lived and worked there, and died there in 1917. After Cabrini's canonization in 1946, the archdiocese decided that it needed a shrine in her honor. When the hospital was demolished for a high rise development in 2002, the shrine closed for ten years. It was relocated next to the new development and renovated.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=History of the Shrine |url=https://www.cabrininationalshrine.org/history-of-the-shrine |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=The National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini |language=en}}</ref>

Cardinal [[Francis George]] rededicated the National Shrine in 2012. Today, it contains gold mosaics, [[Carrara marble]], frescoes, and Florentine stained glass,. It also preserves the hospital room from the Columbus Hospital where Cabrini died.  Visitors use the shrine today for worship, spiritual care, and pilgrimage.<ref name=":4" />

===Mother Cabrini Shrine===

{{Main|Mother Cabrini Shrine}}
The Mother Cabrini Shrine is located on [[Lookout Mountain (Colorado)|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 at the camp in 1914 to serve as the girls dormitory.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=The Shrine |url=https://mothercabrinishrine.org/the-shrine |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=Mother Cabrini Shrine |language=en}}</ref>

After Cabrini's canonization in 1946, the MSC converted the summer camp into the Mother Cabrini Shrine. It contains a footpath partway up [[Lookout Mountain (Colorado)|Lookout Mountain]], marked with the [[Stations of the Cross]], that ends at a {{convert|22|ft|m|0|adj=on}} statue of Jesus.<ref name=golden>[http://www.mothercabrinishrine.org/history "History of Mother Cabrini Shrine"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140921054219/http://www.mothercabrinishrine.org/history |date=September 21, 2014 }}, Mother Cabrini Shrine, Golden, Colorado.</ref> The shrine campus includes a convent, visitor accommodations, a chapel and an exhibit of Cabrini artifacts.

===St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine===
[[File:Cabrini Shrine wall crop jeh.jpg|thumb|St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine in New York City (2010)]]
{{Main|St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine}}
The [[St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine]] is located in the [[Hudson Heights, Manhattan|Hudson Heights]] neighborhood of New York City. Cabrini purchased the property in 1899 to establish a school for the girls of wealthy families. In 1930, the MSC established the [[Mother Cabrini High School]] on the property. They moved the Cabrini remains from the MSC property in West Park, New York, in 1938 to a glass-enclosed coffin under the altar of the high school chapel.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=About The Shrine |url=https://cabrinishrinenyc.org/about-the-shrine/ |access-date=2025-01-07 |website=Cabrini Shrine NYC |language=en-US}}</ref>

Cabrini's [[canonization]] in 1946 brought a huge influx of visitors to the school chapel. To accommodate them, the sisters in 1960 moved her remains out of the high school to a separate shrine building on the campus. They now reside in a large bronze-and-glass [[reliquary]] casket in the shrine's altar. Cabrini's body is covered with her [[religious habit]] and a sculpted face mask and hands for viewing.<ref name=":2" />
