Chicago, Ill., Nov 4, 2012 \/ 05:14 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- After being closed for 10 years, the reopening of the National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini in Chicago has helped energize the religious congregation she founded.<\/p>\n

\tSister Joan McGlinchey, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus\u2019 representative at the shrine, said Mother Cabrini had \u201cparticular concern\u201d for the poor and vulnerable, and the shrine \u201ccelebrates and remembers her holiness and her mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe shrine\u2019s reopening is a \u201ccoming back to life\u201d and a \u201crebirth\u201d for the missionary congregation Mother Cabrini founded, Sr. McGlinchey told CNA Nov. 2.<\/p>\n

\tShe said she feels \u201cvery hopeful and joyful\u201d now that the shrine is open again.<\/p>\n

\tFor a decade the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus have worked to reopen the shrine, which is the former chapel of Columbus Hospital. Mother Cabrini founded Columbus Hospital in 1905, but the hospital was torn down in 2001 and the shrine closed in 2002.<\/p>\n

\tThe Italian-born Mother Cabrini arrived in the U.S. in 1889. She went on to establish 67 institutions including hospitals, schools and orphanages across North America and Latin America. She became the first U.S. citizen to be canonized and she is the patron saint of immigrants<\/p>\n

\tUpon Mother Cabrini\u2019s death at Columbus Hospital on Dec. 22, 1917, people began to visit her first-floor room to pay their respects and to pray. The national shrine in her honor was established in August 1955.<\/p>\n

\tBefore Columbus Hospital was demolished, Mother Cabrini\u2019s room was dismantled, moved and rebuilt as an annex to the shrine.<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Francis George of Chicago presided over the inaugural liturgy and blessing at the shrine\u2019s reopening Mass on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n

\tSr. McGlinchey said the saint\u2019s message is \u201cas relevant today as it was then\u201d because Chicago is \u201cblessed and challenged\u201d with many immigrants.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThrough Mother Cabrini's work of providing health care and education for all, she was able to help immigrants embrace their new lives without abandoning their culture,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cPeople in Chicago knew her and admired what she did here and around the world for vulnerable populations. She knew what needed to be done and was able to get it done. She always relied on God and others to accomplish her mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tVisitors to the shrine can pray and learn more about the life of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini and her congregation. The shrine\u2019s interior is adorned with hand-painted frescoes, fine marble statuary, gold mosaics, Florentine stained glass and decorative carvings.<\/p>\n

\tThe shrine offers a new generation the chance to learn about an American saint, Sr. McGlinchey said.<\/p>\n

\tSince reopening, the shrine has hosted liturgies for groups of former patrons and employees of the hospital. It has also welcomed tour groups. Almost 3,000 people have visited in the past month.<\/p>\n

\tThe shrine is open daily, has weekend Masses with opportunities for confession, and hosts Eucharistic adoration on Fridays.<\/p>\n

\tThe shrine\u2019s website is cabrinishrinechicago.com.<\/p>\n
