The Daughters of Charity were Fr. Mike King\u2019s teachers in elementary school and they introduced him to their patron, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. That connection to the first American-born saint would stay with him through his years at the seminary at Mount Saint Mary\u2019s and well into his priesthood. He is retired now and living in Owings, Mills, Maryland. All these years later, the nation approaches the 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of Mother Seton\u2019s canonization, Fr. King says his connection to her is stronger than ever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a student at the Mount, he studied Elizabeth\u2019s writing, even translating from French to English some of her letters to Fr. Brute and Fr. Dubois. And, in 1975 he was on the grounds of the Seton Shrine sharing in the festivities surrounding her canonization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recientemente, el P. King se reencontr\u00f3 con el Santuario participando en el club de lectura en l\u00ednea. Lo visit\u00f3 en 2024 y dice que le gustar\u00eda volver este a\u00f1o para celebrar el 50 aniversario.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m delighted that I was able to visit, meet the staff, and walk the grounds again,\u201d he said. \u201cI have had a wonderful relationship with Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton throughout the years, and it felt like coming home to visit her again. Her example of persistence in the face of adversity has been a source of personal strength for me. She gives me hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI will definitely make it a priority to come back this year. I stood on these grounds 50 years ago in celebration and I plan to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pie de foto<\/strong>: El P.
