The film was screened by the nuns of Mother Cabrini’s order, some of whom were in their 90s
Tale
After witnessing disease and poverty in the slums of New York City, Italian immigrant Francesca Cabrini embarks on a daring journey to persuade the hostile mayor to provide housing and health care for hundreds of orphaned children. At the end of the film, many of them were reported to be crying, and several exclaimed, “THAT’S Cabrini!” Archbishop Corrigan was not the son of poor, working-class Irish immigrants from New York City.
Cabrini: We can serve our weakness or we can serve our purpose
Corrigan was born in New Jersey to Irish immigrant parents who owned a retail grocery and liquor business in Newark and were well-off. Not both.
Dare To Be Starring Andrea Bocelli and Virginia Bocelli
Featured on the Glenn Beck Show: Is “Cabrini” a Rich Man? The BEST Christian movie since “The Passion of the Christ?” (2024).
I didn’t know the story of Mother Cabrini until I saw it in the theater last night
I really enjoyed the story and the merits of the production as well as the solid acting. Angel Studios seems to be investing in interesting features that appeal to a general audience, while avoiding being too preachy or sentimental about faith.
Great movie, well worth the 25 hours spent watching it
The theater was only slightly full, but the first section applauded at the end and people stayed until the end, including me, because I really enjoyed the end title song as well. I watched this movie as part of my AMC A-List subscription, but felt compelled to at least write a ticket on the advance payment request.
