This well-preserved copy of “Cabrinian Colorado Missions” by Ignatius Miceli offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Catholic missionary efforts in the American West. Published in 1996, this volume chronicles the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, founded by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized. Cabrini’s sisters established schools, orphanages, and hospitals across Colorado in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, playing a vital role in the state’s development. Miceli’s meticulously researched text, accompanied by historic photographs, provides a vivid portrait of the challenges faced by these intrepid women as they ministered to the poor, educated children, and brought their faith to the frontier. This book is a must-have for collectors of Western Americana, religious history, and the rich tapestry of Colorado’s past.
