Pope Leo XIV praises Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American saint, as a model for Christians to care for migrants, during a visit to her birthplace in northern Italy. Multiple outlets report that the pope travels to Sant’Angelo Lodigiano near Milan, where he prays at Cabrini’s tomb in a basilica named for her. In remarks associated with the visit, Leo urges young people in particular to learn about Cabrini’s life and service, presenting her legacy as guidance for how Christians respond to people in need. Several sources also frame the message in the context of the pope’s broader stance on migrants and his reported clashes with the Trump administration over its migrant crackdown. While the reports vary slightly in wording, they consistently describe the same core events: the pope’s elevation of Cabrini’s example, his call to follow her approach to serving migrants, and his prayerful stop at the site tied to her early life in Italy.
