The feast day of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini is November 13.  Mass will be celebrated at 6 PM with the Most Reverend Daniel Turley, O.S.A, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Chulucanas in Peru, presiding.  Music will be provided by the Vox Fideles Choir under the direction of conductor and composer Kevin Allen.  A reception will follow the Mass.

We will again have a limited number of times available to pray with Sister Laura Baldini, MSC, inside our replica of Mother Cabrini's bedroom in Columbus Hospital, which contains the chair in which she died, her statue of Baby Jesus, and many items she used in her daily life.  To reserve a time, click on the picture or scan the code.

The Shrine Outreach Committee is in the process of gathering resources to help the homeless and the many new immigrants find the help that already exists in our city in the areas of Legal Services, Medical Services, Education and more.  Bilingual flyers are now available for you to give to those in need whenever you see them.  We often ask "how can we help".  Hopefully this will be one of the ways.

Here is another way!  Help collect personal care/hygiene items to be distributed by Chicago Street Medicine.  Drop off your donations in the bins in the Shrine lobby. If you prefer to donate money with which we will purchase items:

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.
