"The Life and Legacy of Mother Cabrini, Saint of Immigrants"

Early life in Italy
Mother Cabrini and the saga of human migration
Founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Missionary work of the Order
Mother Cabrini as an advocator of a gradual assimilation process for
immigrants
Mother Cabrini, preserver of cultural identity
