Archbishop William E. Lori helped the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton open a new exhibit marking the 50th anniversary of its patron’s canonization with a Mass Jan. 4 on her feast day.
El 14 de septiembre de 1975, Santa Isabel Ana Seton se convirtió en la primera estadounidense de nacimiento en ser canonizada santa por la Iglesia Católica. Para contribuir a la celebración del aniversario, el Santuario Nacional de Santa Isabel Ana Seton inauguró una nueva exposición en el santuario.
El arzobispo Lori celebró una misa en el santuario de Emmitsburg antes de cortar la cinta oficial de la nueva exposición.
En su homilía, Archbishop Lori noted that Pope Francis has dedicated the Jubilee Year 2025 to hope, and said that St. Elizabeth Ann’s life was the epitome of hope.
“Few people fit this description better than St. Elizabeth Ann Seton – a wife and mother, a widow seeking meaning and direction in her life, a convert to Catholicism, an educator, and last but not least, the founder of the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph,” Archbishop Lori said. “She was a pilgrim of hope; she exemplified the hope that impels us to seek God’s will and follow the path of holiness, wherever it might lead.”
