The new movie “Cabrini” will be in theaters by the time you read this, and it is a sumptuous film from director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, based on the life of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Italian Catholic sister who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The film goes into great detail to portray how she offered support to Italian immigrants coming to America, and thanks to her good works, became the first U.S. citizen to be canonized a saint. The film depicts many milestone events in her life, including her relationship with Enrico Caruso, the first great recording artist of the 20th century.
