Our Mission
Seton Heritage Ministries promotes the life and legacy of the first native-born United States saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, as a source of inspiration and encouragement for all people.
We believe St. Elizabeth Ann’s legacy of education and charity is a noble and important cause to share. Today, men, women, and children can identify with her steadfast courage and faith-filled hope in the face of challenges. We feel St. Elizabeth Ann is calling us to expand beyond the present boundaries in order to provide multi-level platforms of her mission to the future of the Church.
We ask you for your prayers and to share the inspiration you have found in Mother Seton so others can be refreshed on their journey and courageously bring Christ’s hope to a world in need.
