Cabrini.

MCGUINNESS, MARGARET M.
- Abstract
The article is a book review of "Cabrini," a film directed by Alejandro Gómez Monteverde. The film provides a brief biographical sketch of Francesca Cabrini, the first American citizen saint, and focuses on the struggles of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) during their early years in New York City. It highlights the poverty experienced by Italian immigrants in the Five Points neighborhood and the anti-Italian sentiment of Americans at the time. The review acknowledges that while the film captures Cabrini's spirit and work ethic, it fails to recognize the contributions of other Catholic sisters who also ministered to the poor. The article concludes by emphasizing the lasting legacy of Cabrini and her sisters in education and compassion for immigrants.
