St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Comments
Elizabeth Bayley Seton was the first native born American to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Born two years before the American Revolution, Elizabeth grew up in the "cream" of New York society. She was a prolific reader, and read everything from the Bible to contemporary novels. In spite of her high society background, Elizabeth's early life was quiet, simple, and often lonely. As she grew a little older, the Bible was to ... Continue Reading

Hello...Just would like to say that Mother Seton was '47' years old when she died...you have her listed at 46 and that is wrong and should be corrected.
Other than that...I absolutely love Mother Seton as did my own mother :)
Thank you.
My sister and her husband lived in Emmitsburg and my parents saw St. Elizabeth's home there. I am presently helping out at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish here in Tucson. Tuesday night we are having a special Mass for the Feast Day so that will be special. I also saw the movie of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and it is worth watching.
Her life can be an inspiration especially her devotion to the Eucharist.
My mother made me promise to read, "The Lives of the Saints." before she died. After the tragic death of my son, Eric, I did read it. In a memorial placed in our local paper I included a poem by St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton...little did I know she was the Patron Saint of Dead Children. Her words spoke to my grieving heart. Someone said, "It was just a baby." No matter what the age or circumstances of ones child's death; all of our children's lives and souls are valuable in the eyes of all that love them.
I love Mother Seton as did my Mom :) They have her passing away at the age of 46 which is wrong...she was 47 years old and that should be corrected.

i thought she was the patron saint of Catholic schools
Thanks this really helped me with my report,hopefully i get an A the essay has to me a page long.thx
She is patron saint of loss of parents. It was on this website under patron saints.
Last year I did a report on Elizabeth Seton and I wish I had found this site I got a B on the project but this website gave me so much information that could have really helped me get an A. But my dilemma this year is that I'm picking my conformation name I need to know what she is the patron st. of. On other sites I have found that she is the patron st. against in-law problems, for death of children and parents and I just wanted to make sure if that's true
Who is Elizabeth Ann patron saint of?
I love this website! so easy to find saints and lots of stuff about them!!! Elizabeth Ann is really interesting! I've got a school project due on her in two weeks!
