Immigrant Services
Armed with tenacity and compassion, in 1889 Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini arrived in New York City on a mission to minister to the thousands of Italian immigrants inhabiting the City’s Lower East Side. Decades later, this Patroness of Immigrants’ ministry continues to flourish, through Cabrini Immigrant Services.
Sponsored by Cabrini of Westchester, Cabrini Immigrant Services has been providing Immigrants with a haven of support, empowerment and service in the heart of Dobbs Ferry since 1998.
