COMMENTARY: As we celebrate the Jubilee of Hope, we remember St. Elizabeth Ann Seton as a companion on the journey, one who shows us that holiness is not beyond our reach.
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.
Mother Seton’s Bible is a great means to ‘introduce people to God and get them closer to God.’
What we know about Mother Seton’s image of Our Lady of Guadalupe begins on June 5, 1811, two years after she moved to Emmitsburg.
Pilgrims now have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the life of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton through interactive displays and exhibits in the museum that are rich in American history and the history of the Catholic Church in America.
50 years after the canonization of America’s first saint, her witness is timelier than ever
The museum and visitors center, which opens Sept. 22, tells the life story of Mother Seton through an immersive experience, examining her impact as the first native-born American to be canonized.
When faced with grief and pain, Mother Seton courageously sought truth over comfort.
