We welcome visitors and groups of all backgrounds to discover the inspiring life and legacy of the first American-born saint, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Letting go of fear and the desire to control our own lives leads to the true detachment and peace that mark the lives of Christ’s followers.

Even in seasons of loneliness, we were made to live with and for others. God provides the means to serve him through a community.

The example of Peter during the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor warns us against taking easy roads to holiness, a lesson that Mother Seton embodied in her life. She always stayed on the narrow path, walking alongside Christ, all the way to heaven

Today in 1809, Rose White and several women joined Mother Seton in Emmitsburg. Sr. Rose would go on to make an impact with her work, and moved to Philly and later NY to care for orphans. The mission in NY led to the founding of the Sisters of Charity of NY. @SistersofCharityNY
St. Martha is counted as one of the blessed, despite her fears and anxieties, and difficulties in understanding her vocation. What she and Mother Seton teach us is that only in Christ’s call for our lives do we find true joy and consolation.

Throughout their lives, St. Anne and Mother Seton had little idea of the glorious destiny God had in mind for them. They show us how to be faithful to God in all things, and to trust in his perfect plan for our lives.
