The energy of Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton embodies faith, dedication, and compassion. As the first native-born American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, she was a pioneering figure in Catholic education in the United States. After experiencing personal loss and conversion to Catholicism, she dedicated her life to the service of others, founding the Sisters of Charity and establishing the first free Catholic school in America. Her deep faith, tireless dedication to education, and compassionate service to the poor and the sick continue to inspire many. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s energy encourages us to remain steadfast in our faith, dedicated to our mission, and compassionate in our actions.
