Mother Cabrini Tour

Enjoy an in-depth, on site, guided exploration of Mother Cabrini’s life at three of the places where she worked and prayed. 

The movie Cabrini does justice to her story, but we further it with an onsite visit to the places that drew her to live and die in Chicago. 

Your experienced guide has led groups through these locations since 2010 as the National Shrine was re-opening. She will augment your appreciation of this diminutive woman of magnanimous faith - a power broker for the broken, all for the love of Jesus - and tell some of her lesser and unknown stories.  

We will visit the sizable hospital chapel and private room where Mother Cabrini left earth for heaven, and the  museum and giftshop at the National Shrine of St Francis Xavier Cabrini. Enjoy lunch (on your own) at Pompeii restaurant or byo and enjoy it in the park where she prayed as she walked. We will also visit the church who's children drew her to the Windy City, and Our Lady of Pompeii, across from Columbus Hospital extention she built. 

Meet at: National Shrine of St Francis Xavier Cabrini, 2520 N Lakeview Ave, Chicago, IL 60614-2255
