Mother Cabrini is best remembered for her international ministry on behalf of the immigrants of her time.

She found a total of 67 institutions; schools, orphanages, hospitals and parish ministries on 3 continents.

Even more remarkable is the fact that she did not undertake this global mission for the sake of the Gospel until the age of 40.

Mother Cabrini: Child of God

Mother Cabrini is best remembered for her international ministry on behalf of the immigrants of her time. She found a total of 67 institutions; schools, orphanages, hospitals and parish ministries on 3 continents. Even more remarkable is the fact that she did not undertake this global mission for the sake of the Gospel until the age of 40.

Born to a farming family in the Lombardy area of Italy, Francesca Cabrini was educated at home by her older sister Rosa. Although frail from her premature birth, she worked fervently at her studies, and years later, after her parents died, she became a teacher. She had always dreamed of becoming a missionary, but was rejected by existing religious communities because of her poor health. However, a local bishop recognized her zeal and boundless energy, and encouraged her to start her own religious congregation. Thus were born the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Over the next years, Mother Cabrini founded several schools, orphanages, and even supervised a hospital in her home country. Her dedication, hard work and passion brought her to the attention of Pope Leo XIII, who helped Mother Cabrini realize her lifelong desire of becoming a missionary to China. It was not to be in a way she, or anyone else, would expect.

Let us remain close in the same prayer! May the Lord bless you abundantly!
