Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that the city will be getting a statue of Mother Cabrini — and that Albany’s going to foot the bill.

“The state’s going to fund it,” Cuomo told the cheering crowd after announcing plans for the statue as the city’s annual Columbus Day Parade kicked off.

Cuomo’s comments came as his political rival, Mayor Bill de Blasio, continues to take heat for a decision by his wife, Chirlane McCray, to not include a statue of the Roman Catholic saint alongside other historical New York women in a series of statues chosen by a project she headed.

“We’ll put together a commission, that’s how we’ll do a statue,” he said gleefully, noting the project will be headed by the Diocese of Brooklyn and Bishop Nicholas DeMarzio, who’ve already started fundraising.

“They need additional funding — I said the state will provide additional funding because we support this,” Cuomo said. “It’s not that they have to do it on their own. We’ll find an artist, find a site, find a location. The state’s role will be supportive, and the state will provide funding.”

Cuomo’s remarks follow an ongoing beef between New York’s Italian Americans and the city’s first lady after McCray declined to erect a statue of Cabrini despite the saint pulling in the majority of votes as part of McCray’s “She Built NYC” statue initiative.

The governor on Monday declined to comment on the “She Built NYC” argument, but noted that Italian Americans felt disrespected by the Cabrini snub.

“Everyone has to feel respected and included and like they have a seat at the table. And the Italian American community felt disrespected,” he said. “Who started it, was it wrong, who cares? Fix it, resolve it, find peace. That’s what this does.”

Cuomo said the statue would be built “as soon as they can get it done.”

McCray’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
