On Mother Cabrini’s birthday, St. Frances Cabrini Shrine in New York City launched its newly-updated website. Crisp and visually appealing, the site focuses on encouraging pilgrimages and learning more about Mother Cabrini.
Abundant educational resources are easy to download. Take a look – here!

This past Sunday, June 1st, members of our Cabrini University community traveled to the St Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine in New York City. We had an diverse group of Cabrini alums (at least one from EVERY decade!!), faculty, staff and friends.
Our group was hosted by the amazing Julia Attaway, Executive Director of the Shrine, who gave an educational presentation on Mother Cabrini. Mass, a tour of the Shrine and its interesting displays, a delicious lunch and a trip to the gift shop for mementos and keepsakes rounded out the experience.
It was a day filled with joy, memories and camaraderie. Thank you to all who made the trip possible.
As part of its Jubilee “Speakers of Hope” series, last week St. Frances Cabrini Shrine in New York City hosted Rwandan genocide survivor Immaculée Ilibagiza.
Immaculée’s story is tremendously inspiring and had the audience riveted. Ouar guests included attendees from the Bronx, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. Immaculée received a standing ovation at the end.
A reporter from the Archdiocese of New York’s news site, The Good Newsroom, was on hand and wrote a nice piece about the event.

For two days last week St. Frances Cabrini Shrine served as a drop-off point for our neighbors who wished to donate gently-used clothing and housewares. Volunteers sorted the items and all items were transported to the Uptown Free store, a pop-up event with the motto, “Take what you need, give what you can.”
Never let it be said that New Yorkers are uncaring! The generosity of our neighbors is humbling. ~ submitted by Julia Attaway, Executive Director, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine, NYC
