St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine

The St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine is located at 701 Fort Washington Avenue between Fort Tryon Park and West 190th Street, with a facade on Cabrini Boulevard, in the Hudson Heights neighborhood of Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan, New York City.

In 1959, the body was transferred again to the current shrine, built adjoining the school in 1957–1960 to accommodate larger numbers of pilgrims.

She rests in a bronze-and-glass reliquary casket in the shrine's altar, covered with her religious habit and a sculpted face mask and hands for more lifelike viewing.
