Mother Cabrini's Legacy Lives On: Global Order Serves Immigrants
The Mother Cabrini League, a branch of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, keeps its readers informed through the 'Mother Cabrini Messenger', reaching approximately 13,000 subscribers. The league's work reflects the global impact of Mother Cabrini, who established 67 institutions worldwide before her death in 1917.
Mother Cabrini's journey began in Italy, where she founded her congregation with a mission to spread the Gospel in China. However, she was redirected to New York to assist Italian immigrants, marking the start of her extensive work in the United States. Today, her order continues to serve immigrants, even amidst government crackdowns on unauthorized immigrants.
In Chicago, Mother Cabrini's influence is evident with several hospitals she helped establish. Her legacy lives on through organizations like Cabrini Immigrant Services, founded in 1999, which provides legal services to immigrants. Sister Yolanda's office at this organization supports around 20 clients weekly, offering guidance for their families.
The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus now focus on social work and spiritual guidance, with a presence in 15 countries. Sister Joaquina, running the Mother Cabrini League's office and serving at a local parish, ensures the spiritual needs of the faithful are met.
From its inception in Italy to its current global presence, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue Mother Cabrini's legacy of service, particularly to immigrants. Despite changes in their services and the political climate, their commitment to social work and spiritual guidance remains steadfast.
