A memorial to Maria Francesca Cabrini, known as Mother Cabrini was erected near the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park City and dedicated on Oct. 12, 2020. An immigrant herself, Mother Cabrini arrived in the United States in 1889 with a mission of helping Italian immigrants. During her lifetime she founded 67 orphanages, schools and hospitals in New York and around the world. The statue, sculpted by Jill and Giancarlo Biagi, faces the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Mother Cabrini, the first naturalized U.S. citizen to be canonized by the Catholic Church, is depicted in a fragile paper boat accompanied by a young girl and a young boy. The boat refers to the paper boats that Mother Cabrini made as a child in the small town of Sant'Angelo Lodigiano in Lombardy, Italy where she was born. She would fill her boats with violets and set them afloat in a stream as her "missionaries." Mother Cabrini is recognized as the patron saint of immigrants. Oct. 20, 2021
