I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to this remarkable woman and her followers who have worked untiringly to serve the underprivileged throughout the world. As a young nun in Italy. Mother Cabrini founded the institute in 1880. Nine years later. she was sent to serve in America by. Pope Leo XIII. arriving in New York Harbor aboard a steamer filled with the immigrants she was destined to serve. Her impact on this country was felt almost immediately and can be seen today in the worldwide network of schools. hospitals. and orphanages established by Mother Cabrini and her followers. Today.
