Book Club - Seton Shrine

Next book club: June 10-July 15th

Participate in the Seton Shrine’s Book Club and explore the life of Elizabeth Ann Seton as she trusted in God, fought for what she believed in, and left a legacy in the charism of charity.  We will be reading the Shrine’s exclusive biography, Elizabeth Bayley Seton, written by Annabelle M. Melville, and we invite you to join us for a six-weeks session to meet weekly in a video conferencing platform, Zoom, for a facilitated conversation on parts of the book based on the discussion schedule.   

The Book Club takes place on Thursdays from 7-8pm EST with 20 spots available. Registration is required at $35 per person. 

What You Need:

  1. A copy of Elizabeth Bayley Seton: American Saint (which you can purchase here)
  2. A computer with a webcam and microphone, laptop, tablet or phone.  

You will receive a link from the Club Host to connect to the 60-minutes discussion each week (the last discussion night will be 2 hours).
