15 Days of Prayer with Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Follow in the footsteps of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Elizabeth Bayley was born of a well-to-do family in 1774 and baptized in the Episcopal Church. After the death of her husband, William Magee Seton and her subsequent conversion to Catholicism, Elizabeth was no longer accepted in her previous social and family circles, leaving her a poor widow with five young children. At the invitation of Bishop Carroll, Elizabeth relocated her family to Baltimore, where she founded a school. She was soon joined by other women and formed the Daughters of Charity of Saint Joseph, serving as the first superior of that order. By the time of her death in 1821, Mother Seton's community had established schools and orphanages in North America, South America and Italy. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1975.
