Elizabeth Ann Seton

All through her life, Elizabeth fought for what she believed in, trusted in God's defense, and turned dreams into reality. She was a true daughter of the American Revolution … Pioneer of the Catholic school system in the United States and contemporary of George Washington, Elizabeth Ann Seton's biography would have surprised no one more than herself. As a young New York socialite, she surely never suspected that her life's journey would bring her into the Catholic Church, or that she would be remembered hundreds of years later as a saintly wife, mother, and founders of a religious community. Discover the secret of Elizabeth's holiness-a courageous determination to allow God to guide her, no matter where he might lead. Featuring reflection questions, a chronology of important dates, and a prayer, each Saints by Our Side biography will introduce you to a compelling model of holiness and intercessor in our needs.
