Mother Cabrini, born Francesca Cabrini in 1850 in Italy, was a Roman Catholic nun and the founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She dedicated her life to helping immigrants in the United States, particularly those from Italy, and established numerous schools, hospitals, and orphanages. In 1909, Mother Cabrini became the first naturalized American citizen to be canonized by the Catholic Church. She is known for her tireless work and compassion, and her legacy continues through the many institutions she founded, which still serve communities today. Her feast day is celebrated on November 13.
