Learn About St. Elizabeth Ann
Here, we give an in-depth look at the life and works of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. We learned so much about her in her collected writings that revealed a confiding heart desirous of serving God alone. Her timeless story of faith and struggle, love and loss, action and contemplation will ignite the imagination of all who meet St. Elizabeth Ann for the first time. Those familiar with her story will discover new insights and inspiration.
We offer additional resources for learning more about St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in the Seton Heritage Shoppe such as the exclusive book Friendship of My Soul that offers in intimate glimpse into the mystique of Elizabeth Seton. She responded to God’s call – living her vocation fully!
