More than 200 years ago, Elizabeth Ann Seton served as a nun in the Catholic Church. She didn’t know it at the time, but a century later, she would be recognized as the first American-born saint. This month, the Seton Shrine will host a celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her canonization.
The three-day event will take place Sept. 12-14, featuring music, food trucks, speakers, history lessons and more throughout its course, the majority of which will be free for the public to experience.
