The Dyker Heights Post Offi
ce will now bear the name
of Saint Frances Cabrini after
President Donald Trump
signed the name change into
law on Dec. 3.
The Mother Frances Xavier
Cabrini Post Offi ce Building,
on 13th Avenue and 84th
Street, will receive a plaque
with its new name in the
spring, USPS said.
Local Congressman Max
Rose introduced the bill to
change the post offi ce’s name
after New York City’s fi rst
lady, Chirlane McCray, declined
to build a statue in
honor of the beloved saint,
even though Saint Cabrini
“won” the most votes in Mc-
Cray’s public statue building
initiative.
The snub infuriated the parishioners
of Bensonhurst’s
Saint Frances Cabrini Church,
who had mobilized en masse to
vote for their patron saint.
“It makes no sense,” said
Rosalie Grazaino, who had attended
COURIER L 18 IFE, DECEMBER 25-31, 2020
the church for 50 years.
“What happened to democracy?”
Outrage about the snub
snowballed as Catholics and
Italian-Americans caught
wind of the issue, and blasted
McCray’s omission of the beloved
saint as an act of discrimination.
Saint Frances
Cabrini, known as Mother
Cabrini, moved from Italy to
New York City in the late 19th
century, where she founded
dozens of schools, hospitals,
and other social service organizations
for immigrants.
After protests and spats
with Mayor Bill de Blasio
about the decision, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo swooped into the
fray on Columbus Day of 2019,
and announced that he would
work with the Brooklyn Diocese
to fund a statue of the
saint in Battery Par, which
was unveiled in October.
The president signed a law requiring the Dyker Heights Post Offi ce be renamed after Mother Cabrini. Google
Rose joined the fi ght later
in October, when he introduced
a bill on the house fl oor
changing the name of the
Dyker Heights Post Offi ce in
Cabrini’s honor.
The bill initially received
some pushback from locals,
who argued that the slow and
oftentimes unreliable post offi
ce was a stain on Cabrini’s
name. However, many Catholics
who had fought for the city
to fund the saintly statue said
they were thrilled.
“I think it’s fabulous!”
Bensonhurst resident Ursula
Agota, a parishioner at Saint
Frances Cabrini Church, told
Brooklyn Paper earlier this
year. “Have to thank Max!”
Following Trump’s approval
of the name change,
the Postal Service held a conference
on Dec. 22 — the anniversary
of Cabrini’s death and
her feast day — to celebrate
the post offi ce’s new name.
“We believe that Mother
Cabrini embodies the spirit
of the postal service in many
ways,” said USPS representative
Amy Gibbs. “She served
the public with equal opportunity.
She did not discriminate.
She was resourceful and proud,
much like our organization.”
Father Thomas Caserta,
pastor of St. Bernadette
Church in Dyker Heights,
said the honor was especially
timely.
“Mother Cabrini’s example
is needed now more than ever,
as we all live through a dark
and challenging time,” he said.
“Women like her are a reason
for hope, that not only can we
survive our diffi culties, but
we can thrive as brothers and
sisters of each other.”
Deliverance!
