Frances
Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
was born in the Lombard valley in Italy. She was a
very frail child filled with an enormous courage and endurance. She took
religious vows in 1873, and soon founded her own community, the
Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. Pope Leo XIII directed her in 1889 to go
minister to the poor in America. She founded and inspired the foundation
of hospitals, orphanages, convents, and schools all over the Americas and
Europe.
