The first United States citizen to be canonized, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. She took the name “Xavier” in honor of St. Francis Xavier to show her own missionary calling as she dreamed of serving in China. Instead, Mother Cabrini answered God’s call to leave Italy and go on mission out West, from New York to the West Coast. May she inspire us to remain open to the Lord’s will for us as missionaries! #focuscatholic #MotherCabrini
