Mother Frances Cabrini receives an invitation to visit the cardinal in Vatican City. She wrote the Pope several times to start a mission to help orphans globally. She feels that the Vatican ignores the East. So, Mother Cabrini wants to begin in China and work her way West. She wants to create an Empire of Hope. On her visit, the cardinal rejects Mother Cabrini in person because he’s tired of receiving her letters. She refuses his rejection and demands to speak to the Pope. The Pope listens to Mother Cabrini’s passionate plea and accepts her mission but with a condition. He opens a box of letters from Italian immigrants in the United States. Immigrants living in New York’s Five Points witness children freezing to death in the streets while Americans ignore their plight. The Pope will allow Mother Cabrini’s mission if she starts in New York. Mother Cabrini returns and tells her fellow Sisters to pack. They migrate to New York. Cabrini, sick with lung disease, will face prejudice, corruption, and sexism to save children around the world.
This nun doesn’t sit idly by and accept rejection. She learns to navigate the world of politics and media to sway the opinions of the American people. She gains allies from all walks of life to advance her efforts. Mother Cabrini’s first New York ally is a prostitute named Vittoria. Vittoria helps Mother Cabrini find missing children. Her next comrade is Dr. Murphy. He finds Mother Cabrini after she collapses in a sewer looking for children. He offers aid and connections for her orphanage. And her most ferocious ally is Theodore Calloway. He is a New York Times writer with political connections and the power of the pen. Mother Cabrini’s drive comes from a short life expectancy. She doesn’t have time to accept no. This woman wasn’t afraid to be loud, towering, and visible. If you enjoyed the depiction of America’s first Saint, you can share the story of the patroness saint of immigrants here.

You must put your armor on – Vittoria
And I thought you were new at this – Mayor Gould
Men could never do what we do – Cabrini
If anyone could make a go at this, it would be you – Dr. Murphy
I sincerely doubt that – Theodore Calloway
