The National Shrine of St Frances Xavier Cabrini Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

1. Hiring of two key staff: Rector - Bishop Daniel Turley, OSA & Ministry Program Director - Ed Shuttleworth. Both of these hires were critical to the growth and marketing of our programs. Bishop Turley has brought new groups into our Shrine from Italy, Chicago parishes that were not aware of our Shrine along with sharing information about our space for retreats. In 2025, Ed Shuttleworth spent his initial months personally visiting schools and parishes throughout the Chicagoland Archdiocese, again, bringing the same awareness that Bishop Turley did. 2. Added new community focused events/programs geared toward families and young people: A. In July, 2025, we hosted a community family birthday party to celebrate Mother Cabrinis 175th birthday. This event included animated movie, crafts for children, coloring and many other family friendly events. B. As mentioned above, the two new staff roles raised awareness so we were able to offer retreat space (at no cost) to Religious Education Confirmation groups who are required to host two retreats prior to actual confirmation. We had three parishes accept this opportunity in 2025. C. We also offered our first Hispanic Mass when we partnered with St Mary of the Lake for Three Kings Day. Their elementary school came and provided music and traditional dancing during this Feast Day event. 3. Launched new website in November, 2025. A. The new site clearly lays out all of our special events for the entire year. All events, Masses, etc are on our new calendar months in advance with links to register and to receive detailed information. B. An intricate form on the new site is for all tours. Its a simple yet direct form that provides the Shrine with all pertinent information for a pilgrimage request. This has streamlined communication immensely. 4. Defined partnerships with outside agencies. A. In 2025, we clearly identified six outside non-profits to partner with for the entire year. This allowed us to clearly communicate to our Shrines attendees the Mission of each of these groups along with any needs those groups had.
