Special day...today!

Feast of Mother Cabrini...the first American saint!  She was from Italy, but came to the US where she established many places of ministry for the poor Italian immigrants....actually the Pope requested she come to the US....she really wanted to go to China as a missionary.  The Pope said she was needed by the Italian immigrants...and indeed she was.  The ministries she established flourished as did the order of sisters she founded:  the sisters of mercy.

Great example for us!
