March 8 is International Women’s Day, so yesterday Sunday we Philítaly Cultural Exchanges kicked off Women’s History Month with a portrayal of Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini (Mother Cabrini) a very positive force to be reckoned with at the Vatican and beyond. First American saint, emigrated from Italia, who traversed the Americas!

Thank you, Mother Cabrini, for bringing so much joy and protection to so many immigrants and others downcast in society in your lifetime! And bravissima Women in History for the outstanding performer you brought to us in Ann McEvoy. 👏👏
