On January 4 We Celebrate the Feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth Ann Seton, a prominent figure in American Catholic history, founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph and established the first free Catholic school for girls in the United States. A convert to Catholicism, she overcame personal tragedies and anti-Catholic prejudice, leaving a legacy of education, charity, and faith that culminated in her canonization in 1975 as the first American-born saint.
