Praying With Elizabeth Seton

As the first saint to be canonized who was born in the United States, Elizabeth Seton holds a special place in the history of the Catholic Church in America. A wife and widow, mother of five children, founder of a new community of religious women, teacher and administrator, Elizabeth Seton was remarkable by any standard.
