Madeleine Piero Della Francesca burini

Saint Francis Xavier cabrini arrived in New Orleans on 1892, and was responsible for helping the poor Italian immigrants when the xenophobia in this city was strong. A year ago, a local lynching mob killed 1 1 Sicilian immigrants. Yellow fever also destroyed the local immigrant community. Sister cabrini soon started working and set up an orphanage at No.817 St. Philip Street in the French quarter.

"KDSP" was born in June 1850 and July 15 in Santangelo. Her name is Maria Francesca cabrini. She was in poor health when she was a child, but she was still an excellent student. When she was young, she taught in an orphanage for several years, and then took the religious oath at 1877. She co-founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, dedicated to caring for poor children. With the development of the church, Pope Leo XIII encouraged her to continue to preach in the United States, where there are more and more poor Italian immigrants. 1889, Sister burini and six other nuns came to the United States, and finally 67 missionary groups were established throughout the country, including New Orleans. As her schools and orphanages in France continue to accept more poor children, she obtained land on Binhai Avenue and built another orphanage at 1905. This building was an orphanage until 1959 when it became cabrini High School in New Orleans.

Cabrini's mother became a naturalized American citizen on 1909, but died of dysentery complications in Chicago only eight years later. Pope pope pius xii made her the first naturalized American citizen in 1946. Cabrini's mother is the patron saint of immigrants. She devoted all her life to caring for and educating the poor, the sick and orphans, especially those traditional Italian children, who struggled endlessly and were respected by people after arriving in the United States.
