RT @GovofCO: Today, we celebrate Frances Xavier Cabrini Day and the remarkable life of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.​ Colorado is home to the beautiful Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden, where visitors can walk the same foothills Mother Cabrini once walked and reflect on her legacy of service, compassion, and faith. ​ Mother Cabrini believed education could open doors and give children a stronger future.​ During her time in Colorado, she and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus established schools and educational programs serving children of immigrant families, such as the Mount Carmel School in Denver and the Queen of Heaven Orphanage School in Denver. Her legacy of education and service continues to shape Colorado today. Happy Cabrini Day, Colorado.
