Welcome to the Shrine
A HIDDEN TREASURE
IN THE HEART OF LINCOLN PARK
Historically, this site was home to Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, a missionary religious woman who helped shape America's social and health care system in the early twentieth century. Mother Cabrini lived, worked and died in Chicago, having established 67 institutions of care around the world.
Spiritually, it is the only National Shrine dedicated to the First American Citizen Saint and the Patron of Immigrants in the Catholic Church. Visitors come from around the world to visit this spiritual center.
Architecturally, the Chapel is a celebration of Carerra marble, Florentine stained glass windows, gold mosaics, colorful frescoes and Romanesque splendor.
The Shrine is a "Must See" and all are welcome to visit and take a self-guided tour or schedule a docent-led group tour. For more information on tours, contact: admin@cabrininationashrine.org
Good St Nicholas,
Help us prepare for the miracle of the coming of Jesus.
Help us not to be blind to the gifts of getting ready.
Help us be sincere in the greetings we send and receive with love and prayer.
Kind St. Nicholas, protect us from shoppers’ fatigue, stress, overspending, yet help us to be kind and generous of heart to all, especially those who are alone, financially poor and fearful.
May our celebration of your feast lead others to see the true meaning of giving and receiving and to guide all people to
the greatest of all gifts, even Jesus Christ, prince of peace and child of Mary, Our Lord and only savior.
Amen
