My experience since being recycled to the Seton Shrine Center in 1998 is very different from what it was when I served on the shrine staff as office manager during the 80’s.
Being a docent at the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is, indeed, a great privilege, which brings one very close to the source of where it all began. And what is that all? It is the foundation site of the American branch of the Daughters of Charity founded here in 1809 by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. It so happens that this is also the place where St. Elizabeth Ann began the first Catholic School in America. Her school opened it doors in the White House in 1810, one of the shrine’s treasured sites which pilgrims visit almost every day of the year.
