Her life's work focused on improving the lives of immigrant communities\, particularly Italian immigrants\, through education\, healthcare\, and social services. \nFor decades\, Columbus Day was observed as a holiday across the United States. However\, it faced growing criticism due to Christopher Columbus's controversial legacy\, including his role in the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples. \nIn Colorado\, Columbus Day celebration started in 1907\, but discussions emerged about replacing the holiday with one that better reflected the values of inclusion and service. \nIn 2020\, Colorado lawmakers passed legislation replacing Columbus Day with Frances Xavier Cabrini Day. The decision was influenced by Cabrini's historical connection to Colorado and her enduring legacy of helping immigrant communities. \nThe first Frances Xavier Cabrini Day was celebrated on October 5\, 2020. This made Colorado the first state in the U.S. to formally establish a holiday in Cabrini's honor. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn Frances Xavier Cabrini Day\, people engage in various activities that reflect Cabrini's values of compassion\, community service\, and support for marginalized groups. \nVisitors often visit the shrine located near Golden\, Colorado\, which is a significant pilgrimage site dedicated to Frances Xavier Cabrini's work. People believe the water from the spring at the shrine has miraculous properties. \nSchools and churches often organize events to educate people about Cabrini's life and work. \nMany Catholic communities hold special Masses or prayer services in honor of Saint Cabrini. These services often highlight her faith and missionary spirit\, emphasizing her canonization as the first U.S. citizen saint. \nFamilies and communities may gather for meals or informal events to celebrate Cabrini's legacy. Sharing stories about her life and her impact on Colorado can be a way to connect her work with current values. \nAs it is a state holiday in Colorado\, people may also use the day to support local businesses or engage in leisurely activities with family and friends. \nWho is Frances Xavier Cabrini?\nFrances Xavier Cabrini (1850–1917)\, also known as Mother Cabrini\, was an Italian-American Catholic nun and the first U.S. citizen to be canonized as a saint. \nFrances was born on July 15\, 1850\, in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano\, Italy\, and she was the youngest of 13 children in a devout Catholic family. She was frail and often ill as a child but exhibited a strong will and a deep sense of faith. \nFrances founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1880\, with the goal of serving the poor and marginalized\, and became known for her exceptional organizational and leadership skills. \nAt the request of Pope Leo XIII\, Frances redirected her mission to the United States in 1889 to aid the growing population of Italian immigrants. She faced immense difficulties\, including language barriers\, prejudice\, and inadequate funding\, but remained resolute. \nFrances worked tirelessly to improve the lives of Italian immigrants\, addressing their educational\, healthcare\, and spiritual needs. Frances established over 67 institutions\, including schools\, orphanages\, and hospitals across the United States\, Europe\, and Latin America. \nDuring visits to Colorado\, Frances supported Italian immigrants working in mines and railroads. She founded the Queen of Heaven Orphanage in Denver. The Mother Cabrini Shrine near Golden\, Colorado\, honors her work in the region. \nFrances passed away on December 22\, 1917\, in Chicago\, Illinois. In 1938\, Pope Pius XI beatified her\, recognizing her miraculous healing of a terminally ill nun. In 1946\, Pope Pius XII canonized Frances\, making her the first U.S. citizen to achieve sainthood. Her feast day is celebrated on November 13\, commemorating her dedication to the poor and immigrant communities.
