  6. Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus In November 1880, she and six other women who had taken religious vows with her founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (M.S.C.). Caribini composed the rule and constitutions of the religious institute, and she continued as its super general until her death. The sisters took in orphans and foundlings, opened a day school to help pay expenses, started classes in needlework work.

  8. Death of Frances Xavier Caribini • Frances died of complications from dysentery at age 67 in Columbus Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, on December 22nd, 1917, while preparing Christmas candy for the local children. By that time, she had founded 67 missionary institutions to serve the sick and poor and train additional sisters to carry on the work. Her body was originally interred at Saint Caribini home, an orphanage she founded in west park.

  9. Veneration In 1931, her body was exhumed as part of the canonization process. At that time, her head was removed and is preserved in the chapel of the congregation's international motherhouse in Rome. An arm is in the national shrine in Chicago, while most of the rest of her body is at the shrine in New York. Caribini was beatified on November 13, 1938, by Pope Pius XI, and canonized on

  10. July 7th 1946, by Pope Pius XII. Her beatification miracle involved the restoration of sight and healing the disfigurements of a one day old baby who had been blinded by 50% silver nitrate solution instead of the normal 1% solution in the child’s eyes. The child named Peter Smith would later be present at her canonization and became a priest. Her canonization miracle involved the healing of a terminally ill member of her congregation.

  11. The shrines • Due to the overwhelming increase of pilgrims to her room at Chicago’s Columbus Hospital, the then-Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Samuel Stritch, consecrated a National Shrine built in her honour within the Hospital complex. The National shrine of Saint Frances Xavier Caribini was dedicated in 1955. The shrine was at the heart at Columbus Hospital.

In 2002, the Hospital closed and soon after was torn down, but the shrine and Caribini’s room were preserved, though closed to the public. It was reopened on October 1st, 2012, following a ceremony the previous day.
