Talking Saints - St. Francis Xavier Cabrini
Talking Catholic
In 1889, an Italian Catholic nun named Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini sought the permission of Pope Leo XIII to go to China as a missionary. “Not to the East, but to the West,” he replied, urging her to travel to the United States and serve the impoverished Italian immigrants in New York City. So began Mother Cabrini’s prolific ministry to the poor, sick, abandoned, and uneducated throughout the United States and around the world. As the Catholic Church today celebrates the feast of the founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Talking Saints hosts Laurie and Pete unpack the life of this faithful and courageous woman, the first American citizen to be canonized, and still much-loved in New York.
