The Life of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth was a devoted wife and the mother of five children in New York. After her husband William died in Italy, the warm faith of a Catholic family there led her into the Catholic Church in 1805.
She opened a school for girls in Baltimore and then moved to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph's in 1809. Her school became a model for Catholic education across the country, and she was the first saint born in the United States.
