Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we begin reading the second letter in the book to the Teacher’s College in Rome. This is written approximately one year after the last letter that we just read.
We are going to hear her describe the work being done on the hospital she founded in Chicago—Columbus Hospital. One of my followers on Facebook shared with us that he was born in that hospital. Sadly, it hospital no longer stands. Reading from online, “It closed in 2001 and was later demolished to make way for a high-rise condominium development called Park Michigan. The National Shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, which was originally part of the hospital, was preserved and refurbished during the redevelopment and remains open to the public.”
So, if you are ever in Chicago, you can go visit the National Shrine of Saint Frances Cabrini. We’ve got three shrines dedicated to Mother Cabrini in the States—one in Colorado, one in New York, and one in Chicago. And, I’m sure there are numerous churches named after her.
Today, we will read Part One of this letter beginning on page 311 and ending on page 315 at the first full paragraph. Let’s go ahead and begin.
