Journeying With The Saints
Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we will read the Epilogue which happens to be the Catholic News report on Mother Cabrini’s death, life, and funeral. We will simply read this news article about her today and just sit with the words and all that we have read this year. I won’t offer any reflection now, but will so in our final episode.

Teacher's College in Rome 1906: Part Three
Journeying With The Saints
Well, Catholic Pilgrims, today we will finish the last letter. This has been a long one as we heard about Mother Cabrini’s travels around the western United States. It’s been interesting, at least for me, to hear about all the places she’s visited, because I’ve been to quite a lot of the same places. Currently, I live in California, not too far from Los Angeles. She’s, also, going to talk about Catalina Island in our readings today and my family went there awhile back to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. But, after this reading, I’m going to give my reflection and I...
info_outlineWelcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we begin reading the second letter in the book to the Teacher’s College in Rome. This is written approximately one year after the last letter that we just read.
We are going to hear her describe the work being done on the hospital she founded in Chicago—Columbus Hospital. One of my followers on Facebook shared with us that he was born in that hospital. Sadly, it hospital no longer stands. Reading from online, “It closed in 2001 and was later demolished to make way for a high-rise condominium development called Park Michigan. The National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, which was originally part of the hospital, was preserved and refurbished during the redevelopment and remains open to the public.”
So, if you are ever in Chicago, you can go visit the National Shrine of Saint Frances Cabrini. We’ve got three shrines dedicated to Mother Cabrini in the States—one in Colorado, one in New York, and one in Chicago. And, I’m sure there are numerous churches named after her.
Today, we will read Part One of this letter beginning on page 311 and ending on page 315 at the first full paragraph. Let’s go ahead and begin.
