Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton's Feast Day & 50th Anniversary of Her Canonization | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This weekend marks the Feast of the first American-born saint and the celebration is set to last more than just a day. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was born in 1774 in New York City. She is credited with helping to launch Catholic education in the US and her religious order is dedicated to reaching out to the most needy in North America. She was canonized in 1975 and her shrine in Emmitsburg, Maryland has big plans for the 50th anniversary. Executive Director of the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Rob Judge, joins to discuss what the shrine has planned for the saint's feast day on Saturday. The museum for the Seton Shrine has a new exhibit on her canonization. Judge shares what visitors can expect. The exhibit is not the only way the shrine is commemorating this anniversary. Judge tells us more about the festivities planned for 2025. Regarding Mother Seton and her work in Catholic education and in helping the needy, Judge explains how the saint remains relevant today. He fills us in on where people can go for more information. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
