St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917 A.D.) was born in Lombard, Italy. Several religious communities turned her down when she wanted to enter because her health was not good enough. A bishop told her to start a new religious community herself. She did this and founded the "Missionary Sister of the Sacred Heart." Pope Leo XIII asked her to go to the USA to assist the Italian immigrants. She obeyed and went and founded an orphanage, a school, and other charitable houses that numbered 67 in all. Mother Cabrini died in Chicago. In 1946 A.D., she became the first citizen of the United States to be canonized a saint.
