St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was an Italian-American nun who dedicated her life to helping others, especially immigrants arriving in the United States in the late 1800s. She founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, focusing on caring for the sick, poor, and children. Cabrini established numerous schools, hospitals, and orphanages, advocating for compassionate service. Recognized for her leadership and devotion, she became the first American citizen to be canonized a saint by the Catholic Church in 1946, inspiring many through her commitment to social justice and humanitarian work.
