- St.
Frances was born in Lombardi, Italy in 1850, one of thirteen
children. At eighteen, she desired to become a Nun, but poor health
stood in her way. She helped her parents until their death, and then
worked on a farm with her brothers and sisters.
-
- One
day a priest asked her to teach in a girls' school and she stayed
for six years. At the request of her Bishop, she founded the
Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for poor children in
schools and hospitals. Then at the urging of Pope Leo XIII she came
to the United States with six nuns in 1889 to work among the Italian
immigrants.
-
- Filled
with a deep trust in God and endowed with a wonderful administrative
ability, this remarkable woman soon founded schools, hospitals, and
orphanages in this strange land and saw them flourish in the aid of
Italian immigrants and children. At the time of her death, at
Chicago, Illinois on December 22, 1917, her institute numbered
houses in England, France, Spain, the United States, and South
America. In 1946, she became the first American citizen to be
canonized when she was elevated to sainthood by Pope Pius XII.
