The Life of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth Seton would have been (and probably is) extremely pleased with the podcast. Elizabeth Seton does ‘sainthood’ the way New York does ‘fashion’. Elizabeth Seton does ‘charity’ the way New York does ‘global’.Elizabeth Seton takes the ‘big Mac’ of motherhood and turns it into filet mignon. Sister Regina manages to verbalize and communicate this most eloquently — as New York blossoms rooted in Emmitsburg soil. Bravo!
