Converge@St. Francis Ministry invites you for a walk around the Cabrini Shrine – A Sacred Step on Your Jubilee Journey on Saturday, June 14, 2025.

This Jubilee Year, take a meaningful step in your spiritual journey with a walk around the Cabrini Shrine in New York City — a site of profound faith and history. Nestled high above the Hudson River, the shrine honors St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized and the patron saint of immigrants.

As a designated pilgrimage site for the Jubilee, the shrine offers a powerful space for prayer, reflection, and renewal. Whether you’re seeking a moment of peace, a deeper connection to your faith, or the grace of a Jubilee indulgence, this sacred walk invites you into the heart of Mother Cabrini’s legacy of love and service.

The Shrine is a peaceful and historic landmark dedicated to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized as a saint. This beautiful shrine is nestled on a hill, offering stunning views of the Hudson River and the surrounding cityscape.

Come walk in the footsteps of a saint — and let grace guide your way.

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, the Converge@St. Francis Ministry will visit the Shrine of St. Frances Cabrini, located in the Washington Heights in Manhattan. A docent will present insights on St. Frances Cabrini’s life and works.  We can also explore the serene grounds, which include a chapel, a grotto, and a meditation garden, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The shrine also houses the relics of St. Cabrini, allowing visitors to connect with the life and work of this remarkable missionary who devoted herself to helping immigrants and the poor in the U.S.

Fr. Jim Bernard, OFM will join us on this visit.
