Mother Cabrini is a young Italian woman with a heart for the world’s poor and a bold plan to meet their needs.Her plan: launch a ministry in Asia, where — she says — poverty is ripping through the continent rapidly and the poor are in desperate need of food, housing, and medicine. She wants to launch a series of orphanages. First, though, she needs the approval of the Vatican, which she has written a dozen times. Finally, she gets a much-desired meeting with the Pope.”For one little woman, you make a lot of noise,” he says.He approves her mission with one caveat: It must begin in the United States, where more than 1 million Italians have immigrated and are in need of assistance. They’re battling not only poverty but racism, too. She agrees to go.”From now on, my sisters, we speak English,” she tells her fellow nuns.The film Cabrini (PG-13) follows the story of Mother Cabrini, who enters the U.S. through Ellis Island — sailing by the Statue of Liberty — and sets out to change the world.
