A Birthday Party in Heaven and on Earth!

Our Cabrini Celebrate & Connect was wonderful and we thank Heaven for the beautiful weather.  Thank you to all who attended the Mass and the party.  Pictures are posted!

Mother Cabrini was born July 15, 1850.  If you would like to give the Shrine a gift in her honor, see below.

Join us for our weekly Mass for Peace every Thursday evening at 6 PM. 

A rosary for VOCATIONS is now prayed before Mass at 5:30 PM 

Pray for the intercession of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini that our prayers will be heard. 

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and on the whole world!

Thanks to all who helped with Uncle Pete's Lunch Bag on June 7.  We helped to feed many homeless and hungry people.

Our next Community Outreach project will be announced soon.

Spiritual Center & Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of Lincoln Park

Historically, this site was home to Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, a missionary woman religious, who helped shape America's social and health care system in the early twentieth century.

Spiritually, it is the only National Shrine dedicated to the first American Citizen Saint and the Patron of Immigrants and Heath Care Workers in the Catholic Church.

Architecturally, the Shrine's Chapel is the masterpiece of world-renowned architect, Leonard Gliatto, who felt that this was his crowning achievement in America.
