Celebrating the Seton Legacy

In 2009, the Sisters and Daughters of Charity throughout the United States will commemorate two  hundred years of history, charity, and dedication that was begun by a small band of young women  under the inspiration of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Today, congregations throughout the United  States, Canada and overseas continue her legacy.

To honor and celebrate the life of Saint Elizabeth  Ann Seton and her everlasting legacy, the Daughters of Charity Emmitsburg Province are planning  activities and events. The Lighting Ceremony on  January 4, 2009 — the Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth  Ann Seton — will launch the year-long schedule of  events. A major celebration is the Bicentennial  reenactment scheduled to begin on Friday, July 31,  2009, through Sunday, August 2, 2009.
