Watch Cabrini on Formed:

Michael Barber, Professor of Scripture and Theology at the Augustine Institute, shares his reflections on the film Cabrini after watching it with his children. He looks at how Mother Cabrini’s mission to care for the sick shows that Catholics live out their calling within the Church, not apart from it.
