Patron of
Immigrants
to Gather Your People
How much there
can be in a name is most clearly shown in you who was called
Frances Xavier, thus expressing your wonderful missionary spirit.
An emigrant from Lombardi in Italy, you in turn took care of
immigrants.
You founded the Missionary Sisters and became the first American
citizen to be canonized a Saint. Make us dedicated servants of
God like yourself
and care for the immigrants who need your help. Amen.
Almighty and eternal Father, Giver of all Gifts, show us Thy mercy, and grant, we beseech Thee, through the merits of Thy faithful servant, Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, that all who invoke her intercession may obtain what they desire according to the good pleasure of Thy Holy Will. (mention your request).
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, beloved spouse of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, intercede for us that the favor we now ask may be granted. Amen.
feast day: November 13
