St. Francis Xavier Cabrini was born prematurely, the youngest of 13 children, and was so frail she was baptized the day she was born. But overcoming tremendous odds and hardships would become her life-long trademark. She would go on to form the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, become a friend of three popes, a foster-mother to thousands of children, and establish 67 institutions and hospitals around the world serving immigrants, orphans, and those in need.
Discover the life of the first United States citizen every to be canonized in the EWTN Original Movie Mother Cabrini.
