Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton became the first American-born saint 50 years ago on September 14th. The St. Patrick's Cathedral community will come together in faith and joy as we recognize the sanctity of this outstanding Catholic woman and convert.
Join us tomorrow, September 6th, for our daily novena via our digital platforms featuring St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Sisters of Life, who will be leading us with beautiful reflections on St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s life. May we strive to live with virtue on our own paths to sainthood.
