The film was screened by the nuns of Mother Cabrini’s order, some of whom were in their 90s
Narrative
After witnessing disease and poverty in the slums of New York, Italian immigrant Francesca Cabrini embarks on a daring journey to convince the hostile mayor to provide housing and healthcare to hundreds of orphans. At the end of the film, many of them were crying, with some shouting, “THAT’S Cabrini!” Archbishop Corrigan was not the son of poor, working-class Irish immigrants in New York City. Corrigan was born in New Jersey to Irish immigrants who owned a grocery and liquor store in Newark and were wealthy.
Cabrini: We can serve our weakness or our purpose
Not both. Featured on The Glenn Beck Program: Is ‘Cabrini’ the BEST Christian movie since ‘The Passion of the Christ’ (2024). Dare To Be, played by Andrea Bocelli and Virginia Bocelli.
Mother Cabrini is a legend and I’m shocked I’ve never heard her story before!
This film tells of her struggles and triumphs in such a beautiful, inspiring and captivating way! After watching it, I wanted to learn more about not only what she did in her life, but also about the Five Points area of New York City. Historically, I felt enriched, but I also felt an overwhelming empathy for my fellow man and the struggles people go through.
Total girl power with faith in God
Cabrini helped orphans and immigrants with nothing but faith and believing that the resources would come. I felt so encouraged and inspired to do more, no matter how much I can offer, it’s enough! Perfect pairing!
