Together, we’ll explore the beauty of spiritual motherhood through the life and legacy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, deepening our understanding of vocation, sacrifice, and trust in God through both earthly and spiritual motherhood. Each week, we’ll reflect on the role of motherhood, Seton’s spirituality, her devotion to the Blessed Mother, and her perseverance through suffering.
