Club members celebrated Women’s History Month by attending a screening of the newly released movie, Cabrini, in mid-March. It was the incredible story of the tenacity and strength of a woman who traveled from Italy to New York by ship in 1889, and began a mission to help poor Italian immigrants in lower Manhattan. A champion, not only of Italians but of all orphaned immigrant children, Francesca Cabrini stood up to the strong and powerful men she encountered in her quest to help the poor––the Pope, the Mayor and Archbishop of New York and other city officials. Undaunted by the work “NO”, nothing stood in her way as she founded orphanages and hospitals and taught the illiterate so they could make a new life for themselves in their new country. Known as Mother Cabrini, and now St. Frances Cabrini, she was the embodiment of a strong woman with a vision that we celebrate this month!
