The Feast of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seaton
January 4 All day
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s journey of faith was shaped by loss, courage, and deep trust in God. A wife and mother first, she later embraced Catholicism after years of searching. Widowed and facing financial hardship, she founded the first free Catholic school in the United States and began a religious community dedicated to education. Elizabeth believed learning and faith belonged together, especially for children. Her life reflects quiet perseverance and generous love, reminding us that holiness often unfolds through daily responsibilities, faithful service, and openness to God’s unexpected invitations.
