Mother Cabrini Memorial

The Mother Cabrini Memorial in New York City is a tribute to Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian-American who dedicated her life to helping the needy.

The memorial, located in Battery Park City, features a statue of Mother Cabrini and interpretive panels that highlight key moments in her life.

The memorial's design includes a sail-shaped cloak, symbolizing Mother Cabrini's resilience in the face of adversity, and three figures facing the Statue of Liberty, representing the hope and aspirations of immigrants. The site also features a mosaic made with stones from Mother Cabrini's birthplace in Italy and an iconic paper boat, symbolizing her journey to America and her unwavering commitment to helping fellow immigrants.
