St. Francis Xavier Cabrini
Hard Work, Devotion, and Faith
St. Francis X. Cabrini, more popularly called Mother Cabrini, was the first citizen of the United States to be declared a Saint (canonized) by the Roman Catholic Church. She worked for a time in the mountains near Golden, Colorado where she founded a summer camp for Denver orphans. There, at the base of a steep hill, the Lord directed her to plant her walking stick in to the earth and a spring of water poured forth and still does to this day.
