See Inspiring Story Of Mother Cabrini In Cabrini Film This Easter Weekend: Indomitable Faith, Incredible Courage, Beloved Helper To Poor Italian Immigrants In NYC

Time Sensitive: See “Cabrini” movie in theaters now

Editor’s note: Readers may remember Mother Cabrini from our article about Scott LoBaido and the sculpture he created of the saint, who is the patron saint of his family.  From that article: “Let’s leave off with Mother Cabrini, the LoBaido family patron saint, an educator and healer whose love and prayers were said to heal his great-grandmother of consumption now decades and decades ago….

“Mr. LoBaido created a small-scale sculpture of his proposal for the statue approved by Governor Cuomo, after New Yorkers were rebuffed by Mayor DeBlasio after Mother Cabrini received the most votes for an influential New York woman residents would like to see memorialized, but was passed over. He hopes to win the nomination to create the artwork, but realizes his notoriety and reputation might keep this from becoming a reality. Still, he is undeterred.”

Scott LoBaido also had an exhibit at Casa Belvedere, which you can learn more about here. 

From the movie’s release page, “Today, iconic Tenor Andrea Bocelli and his daughter, rising star, Virginia Bocelli have released the duet “Dare To Be” (From The Motion Picture Cabrini), an original song written for the end credits of the upcoming Angel Studios film Cabrini.  “Dare To Be” is available through Decca Records, ahead of the film’s release on March 8, International Women’s Day. The film also features Virginia Bocelli’s remarkable acting debut.”

A special message from Gina Biancardi, President and Founder of The Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere

Dear Friends of Casa Belvedere,

I wholeheartedly urge each of you to embark on the captivating journey of courage, love, and faith portrayed in the film “Cabrini” this weekend! And please scroll down for a time-sensitive message from the movie’s producers.

Transport yourselves back to late 1800s New York City, a landscape marked by adversity, poverty, and the resilience of Italian immigrants. Meet Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, portrayed with heart-wrenching authenticity by Cristiana Dell’Anna, as she defies all odds and embraces her calling to serve the marginalized. Despite facing ruthless hostility, she fearlessly establishes orphanages and hospitals, becoming a beacon of hope in the bleakness of Lower Manhattan’s Five Points.

Witness Cabrini’s unwavering resilience as she battles not only her own failing health but also the indifference of society and the Catholic Church leadership. With compelling performances by Giancarlo Giannini, David Morse, and John Lithgow, the film captures the essence of Cabrini’s struggle against all odds.

From the poignant portrayal of Cabrini’s frailty to her indomitable spirit, this film is a testament to the power of determination and the impact of one woman’s unwavering faith.
