NEW YORK (OSV News) -- St. Frances Cabrini Shrine in Upper Manhattan is a light-filled hilltop destination welcoming pilgrims drawn to both its serenity and the remarkable life of the holy immigrant woman it honors.
The New York shrine and St. Frances Xavier Cabrini are in the spotlight thanks to the March 8 theatrical release of "Cabrini," a biographical feature film from Angel Studios which OSV News reviewer John Mulderig called a "riveting retrospective" of the patron saint of immigrants who "might just as easily be regarded as the patroness of the indomitable."
