MOTHER CABRINI SHRINE

Since Mother Cabrini is one of our American saints, we thought we'd visit her shrine up in the mountains near Buffalo Bill. She founded the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and they have a small convent there.

The windows in their chapel depict scenes of Mother Cabrini's life.

Further down the hill is the shrine's chapel where you're able to get water from a spring that Mother Cabrini found.





Most of the time we were there, it was raining and lightening, and had many steps, so we decided not to walk up the hillside to the Sacred Heart statue.

Here's a closeup.
