EMMITSBURG, MD (Sept. 28, 2021) \u2013<\/strong> \u00a0The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton will recognize and pray for those who go to sea at the annual Pilgrimage for the Sea Services on Sunday, Oct. 2. At this special Mass, members of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and Public Health Services will join others in prayer to thank Mother Seton for her protection and to ask for her continued intercession for all Sea Services personnel and their families back home.<\/p>\n

The Pilgrimage Mass will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Basilica at the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, located at 339 South Seton Avenue, Emmitsburg, MD. The Mass will also be broadcast live on EWTN for those who cannot join in person. The Pilgrimage is co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of Military Services USA.<\/p>\n

The celebrant is Cardinal Edwin Frederick O\u2019Brien, Grand Master Emeritus of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and former Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Military Services and of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese of Military Services will concelebrate the Mass. The U.S. Naval Academy Catholic Choir will lead the singing for the Mass, and the Ceremonial Honor Guard, Military District of Washington, will present the colors.<\/p>\n

As the Patroness of the Sea Services, St. \u00a0Elizabeth Ann Seton has deep connections to those who spend their lives at sea and those devoted to public health. Two of her sons, Richard and William, served in the Navy on the USS Cyane and USS Macedonian, respectively. Her father, Richard Bayley, was a prominent New York City physician in the 18th<\/sup> century and the city\u2019s first chief health officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSt. Elizabeth Ann Seton understood what our Sea Service personnel and their families experience every day in serving our nation and the sacrifices that such service demands,\u201d said retired Admiral William J. Fallon, chair of the Pilgrimage Sponsoring committee. \u201cBy her prayers and example, Mother Seton remains a faith-filled inspiration and guiding light for those in uniform, their families and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to asking Mother Seton to intercede for the safety of all those who serve, those who have fallen, and for our country, attendees at the Mass will also pray for more Catholic priests to serve as chaplains. Catholic chaplains in the military numbered in the thousands during World War II. Today, the Navy has less than 50 active Catholic priests to serve hundreds of thousands of Catholic Sailors, Marines, Merchant Mariners, Coast Guard and Public Health Service personnel.<\/p>\n

The late Cardinal John J. O\u2019Connor of the Archdiocese of New York, alongside the late Admiral James D. Watkins, advocated for Mother Seton\u2019s designation as the Patroness of the Sea Services in 1977 when O\u2019Connor served as the Navy Chief of Chaplains and Watkins was Chief of Naval Personnel.<\/p>\n

Cardinal O\u2019Brien, who was consecrated an auxiliary bishop of New York by Cardinal O\u2019Connor, was a civilian chaplain at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point before his commission as a military chaplain in 1970. Cardinal O\u2019Brien was assigned to the 82nd<\/sup> Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C., and trained as a paratrooper. He deployed to Vietnam in 1971, often flying by helicopter to defensive outposts in the countryside to provide for the spiritual needs of the soldiers.<\/p>\n

Cardinal O\u2019Brien was appointed as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of the Military Services in 1997, ministering to service men and women around the world. He later served as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and was elevated to the College of Cardinals in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome Cardinal O\u2019Brien, who knows first-hand the needs of those who wear the uniforms of the Sea Services in their devotion and service to our country,\u201d said Rob Judge, executive director of the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. \u201cMother Seton offers something for everyone, but she is especially connected to the Sea Services because of the love and support she offered to each of her sons. To those on the sea, Mother Seton\u2019s prayers bring hope, solace, and the strength to complete their missions.\u201d<\/p>\n

More about Dr. Bayley and Mother Seton\u2019s sons can be found at the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Seton. Mother Seton was the first native-born American saint, and her Shrine includes the buildings where she lived, taught school, prayed, and eventually died. Her final resting place is in the Shrine\u2019s Basilica.<\/p>\n
