Frances Xavier Cabrini MSC (Italian: Francesca Saverio Cabrini (birth name), July 15, 1850 – December 22, 1917), also known as Mother Cabrini, was an Italian-American, Roman Catholic, religious sister (nun). She founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a religious institute that was a major support to her fellow Italian immigrants in the United States.[1] Her congregation provided education, health care, and other services to the poor.
Mother Cabrini became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1909.[2] On July 7, 1946, Mother Cabrini became the first U.S. citizen to be canonized a saint by the Catholic Church.[a][3] She had entered the United States via New York City, and is now the patron saint of immigrants.[4]
Mother Cabrini is the first woman to have a paid state holiday named for her in the United States.[4] The Colorado General Assembly passed the act (HB20-1031) that established Frances Xavier Cabrini Day as an annual, legal, state holiday on the first Monday of October, and repealed Columbus Day. It was passed on March 10, 2020, signed by the governor on March 20, 2020, effective September 14, 2020, and first celebrated statewide in Colorado, on October 5, 2020.[5][6] Her annual Catholic feast day is her beatification day anniversary, November 13 in the U.S., and on her death day anniversary of December 22 elsewhere around the world.[7]
