CARING

Accompanying those in need on Life's Journey

Cabrini Caring means accompanying people of all walks of life on their journeys, having an active presence in people’s lives and sharing the love of God with all. MSC ministries of Caring encompass a wide variety of institutions and services, including a retreat center and homes for troubled youth, programs and services for recent immigrants, adult care facilities, national and overseas mission programs and shrines.

Cabrini Caring focuses on:

• Addressing the causes and effects of spiritual and material poverty, and of injustice and inequality for groups most at risk today, including immigrants, women, children, and elders
• Putting into action the social teachings of the Church for the marginalized and excluded of society, and empowering people at all levels to do the same
• National and international outreach programs for solidarity with the poor and marginalized
• Promoting by various means a culture of life, rather than a culture of death and violence
• Evangelization that promotes spirituality and service to our neighbors

The Cabrini Eldercare Consortium is an incorporated association formed to ensure unity of leadership and shared vision in the four New York City and Westchester County Cabrini eldercare ministries.  Cabrini Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, St. Cabrini Nursing Home (Cabrini of Westchester), Cabrini Care at Home and Cabrini Housing Development Fund Corporation (Cabrini Apartments) comprise the consortium.

The Missionary Sisters have been serving at St. Philip's Mission in the lowveld region of Swaziland since 1971.Today, they continue to serve at the mission running the health care services, the outreaches, and boarding hostels, as well as teaching in the school and providing skills training.  In recent years, efforts have been made to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Swaziland by expanding their services to include:

Cabrini Hostel - established to care for the high rate of children orphaned by AIDS. Many of the children are compromised by malnutrition and chronic conditions such as TB and kidneydisease.

Agriculture - In 2005, Cabrini Ministries established an agricultural project.  This project provides water for food and helps to create a sustainable income for approximately 200 people in addition to serving the children at the hostel.

Home Based Care - Started with a grant from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, the Home Based Care program focuses on caring for the sick and dying; testing for HIV; helping people begin treatment and transporting people to the hospital to receive treatment.

Education - The educational program began over fifteen years ago when it was discovered that many children in the homesteads were not in school and their families could not afford to send them. With the assistance of the Swiss Solon Foundation, once the children are on the foundation grant, their education is guaranteed through 7th grade if they pass.  This increases their chances for individualized growth and better employment opportunities.
 

Cabrini Mission Corps (CMC) was founded in 1990 by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to offer lay people the opportunity to serve for one to two years in the United States or overseas. CMC missioners make a difference while ministering in education, health care, child care, pastoral ministry, and social services, while living simply in a support community, usually with Cabrini sisters and sometimes with other missioners. Since CMC’s founding, more than 100 lay missioners have journeyed with Cabrini, sharing their gifts and talents.

Cabrini Center is a spiritual ministry of caring sponsored by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Rooted in the spirituality of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, source of love and compassion, and faithful to the Cabrinian spirit, we hold a special place in our hearts for youth, women and immigrants. A spirit of hospitality is extended to individuals and groups seeking a deeper, fuller experience of God.  The staff and Center are dedicated to creating an atmosphere that fosters reflection, prayer and dialogue. The Center annually welcomes over 5,000 youth and adults for meetings, retreats and times of renewal.

At Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden, Colorado, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the lay staff strive to bring the love of Christ to pilgrims, visitors and friends through a hospitable and prayerful presence. Recently the outreach ministry, which delivers food and household items to people in need, was enhanced by the gift of a new truck to deliver the items and help immigrants set up their homes as they begin their new lives in Colorado.
