HELP BUILD THE NOVITIATE
Campaign Progress
Support the Mission
A new novitiate will provide a place where young women can begin their formation in a life of prayer, devotion, and service.
As vocations continue to grow, the need for this space has become clear. This project will make it possible for future sisters to be formed and to dedicate their lives to God and the Church.
Your generosity helps make this possible.
Together, we are laying the foundation for generations of future sisters.
We are estimating a $10 Million fundraising goal for this project.
This will be adjusted as design details are finalized.
A GROWING NEED FOR FORMATION
The number of young women discerning religious life within our community has grown significantly. A new Novitiate in Denver will allow us to welcome and form future sisters, particularly those from the United States.

A NEW NOVITIATE IN DENVER
A Providential Opportunity
The sisters have been given a generous gift of land for their novitiate, which they have prayerfully discerned as a sign of God’s providence and guidance.
A Deep Spiritual Connection
With a deep devotion to Mother Cabrini and a shared spiritual heritage, the sisters felt a strong connection to this place and its mission.
A Setting for Formation and Prayer
The peaceful, rural environment provides the quiet and space necessary for prayer, formation, and the flourishing of new vocations.
INSPIRED BY MOTHER CABRINI
"Put on wings! The road to Heaven is so narrow, rocky, thorny, that only by flying can one travel over it."
— St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
The new Novitiate is entrusted to the patronage of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, whose missionary zeal, courage, and trust in Divine Providence continue to inspire generations.
WITH GRATITUDE
Mother, Sr. M Veronica, Sr. M Caterina, Fr. du Chalard, and Fr. Robinson with the Linnebur family at the future site of the Mother Cabrini Novitiate in Watkins, Colorado.
Through the extraordinary generosity of the Linnebur family, the sisters have been gifted a beautiful parcel of land in Watkins, Colorado, adjacent to St. Isidore’s Church and Priory — the future home of the Mother Cabrini Novitiate.
This gift has been received with profound gratitude and prayerful trust in Divine Providence. As the sisters continue discerning and preparing for the future of the Novitiate, they are deeply thankful for the kindness, support, and generosity that have already helped make this mission possible.
"They were the instruments in the hand of God to start this great adventure and the first benefactors."
