50th Anniversary of Mother Seton’s Canonization Celebration
September 12
Join us this September as we honor Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton—the first native born American saint and a woman whose life of faith, service, and perseverance still inspires us today. As we mark the 50th anniversary of her canonization, we remember her as not just a saint, but as One Of Us.
