Illustrated In 1946, Francesca Cabrini was canonized as the first saint of the United States. This Vision book for 9 - 15 year olds tells the exciting story of this missionary from Italy who came to America to spread the Faith. She founded a new order nuns, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, to teach the Faith and work with the poor in our country. She was a tireless missionary who crossed the ocean 37 times to expand her order across the world to France, England, Spain; in Central and South America; in the United States from coast to coast including New York, New Orleans, Denver, Seattle (where she took the oath of U.S. citizenship) and Chicago, where she died in 1917, a saint of our time.

Reviews for Mother Cabrini

This is one of the best volumes to appear in the Vision Books series. The remarkable character and astounding achievements of the first U.S. citizen to be canonized come alive for Catholic girls between the ages of ten and sixteen through the fictional device of a mother superior's story told to two of her eighth- grade pupils. An inspiring account is given of the establishment of numerous, far-flung convents, schools, orphanages and hospitals by Mother Cabrini. Authoritative sources have been drawn on and careful research on the part of the author is apparent. The style is simple and interesting. (Kirkus Reviews)
