About St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821) was a pioneering American religious leader and the first native-born citizen of the United States to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Born into a prominent Episcopal family in New York City, she converted to Catholicism after the death of her husband and faced significant hardships as a widow and mother of five. Despite these challenges, her deep faith and dedication to education and charity led her to found the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s, the first congregation of religious sisters established in the United States. Her legacy includes the establishment of the first free Catholic school for girls, marking her as a key figure in the history of American Catholic education. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is remembered for her profound spirituality, her commitment to the poor, and her enduring impact on the Church and society.
