The City of Saints
In a city known for its noise, these young adults are quietly changing everything.

Sunday, Sept. 14, marks the 50th anniversary and will include a Mass celebrated by Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore and Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
About two dozen pilgrims, aged 16 to 78, set out Thursday, June 19, on the ‘Footsteps of Mother Seton’ pilgrimage — a four-day journey from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption in Baltimore to the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
The Footsteps of Mother Seton pilgrimage and the Camino of Maryland will both offer a chance for the faithful to walk together in prayer.
The shrine will also be organizing a series of events throughout the year leading up to the 50th anniversary of Seton’s canonization in order to bring people closer to better understand the saint’s life and legacy.
The police department identified the individual as 42-year-old New Jersey resident Walter Chisolm.
Among the artifacts that the museum will contain are Seton’s bonnet and childhood dance slippers.
In what may have been his final address to the U.S. bishops, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò expressed his hope that the bishops and religious orders would draw strength from their history to face new critical challenges.
