This miracle, approved by the Church, made it possible for Mother Cabrini to be beatified in 1938, an important step to canonization. (In 1946 she would be beatified as the first U.S. saint.)
The baby who was healed became a Catholic priest.
To briefly give Mother Cabrini’s life:
“Francesca Cabrini arrived in New York City from Italy on March 31, 1889, where she met with Archbishop Corrigan. Though she spoke no English, she nevertheless convinced him of the importance of this work. By that July everything was already in order in New York; by then she had founded an orphanage and a free school where the poorest Italians lived. In time the orphanage had over 400 orphans, maintained by alms that the Sisters received by begging in the streets of NYC every day; this because they didn’t receive enough help from other religious congregations and wealthy donors.”
She and her sisters would establish orphanages, hospitals and schools in the United States and in many countries.
“Mother Cabrini died of malaria at the age of 67 on December 22, 1917. True to form, she was working in Chicago’s Columbus Hospital, preparing Christmas presents and candy for 500 children.”

Her feast day is November 13 in the United States, December 22 in other countries
