Community leaders and others will preside over a Zoom conference on Tuesday to change the name of the Dyker Heights Post Office, 8320 13th Ave., to the Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini Post Office building. The renaming is being done to honor St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, also known as Mother Cabrini, an Italian-American nun who was the first American citizen to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
Last year, U.S. Rep. Max Rose introduced legislation to rename the post office after the Italian immigrant and New Yorker. It was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump. “From looking out for the poor to helping immigrant families, Mother Cabrini exemplified the values that make New York City the greatest city in the world. Renaming the Dyker Heights Post Office in her honor is another part of ensuring her legacy and memory forever lives on,” Rose said.
