St. Frances Cabrini

Yesterday was the feast day of an American saint, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. As you hopefully remember from our class discussion about American Saints, St. Frances Cabrini was born in Italy and came to the United States to work with the large Italian immigrant population. She became an American citizen in 1909 and died in Chicago in 1917. She is the Patron Saint of Immigrants.

She was the first non-martyred American Saint.

Do you remember the other American Saints?
