Holy Name Cathedral installs statue and relic of St. Frances Cabrini
Holy Name Cathedral, 735 N. State St., celebrates the life and legacy of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini with a Mass and unveiling of a newly commissioned statue on Oct. 15, 2022. Bishop Emeritus Daniel Turley, OSA, of Chulucanas, Peru, was the main celebrant and homilist of the Mass, which included the blessing of her first-class relic embedded in a bas-relief that will be placed in a reliquary inside the cathedral. Father Gregory Sakowicz, rector of Holy Name Cathedral, blessed and dedicated the statue after the Mass. Mother Cabrini, the first United States citizen to be declared a saint, worked tirelessly on behalf of her fellow Italian immigrants, opened schools, hospitals and orphanages in Chicago and across the United States.
