Earlier this year, the Colorado Legislature passed Frances Xavier Cabrini House Bill 20-1031 into law, establishing Frances Xavier Cabrini Day as a Colorado State Holiday. The first paid state holiday in the nation that recognizes a woman, Cabrini Day will be observed in Colorado annually on the first Monday in October (October 5, 2020).
Mother Cabrini dedicated her life to helping the poor, the sick, immigrants, and those less fortunate. Her story is rich with determination, grit, and an unshakable faith in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This day is about her story and we hope people learn of it and are inspired by her life and all she accomplished.
