THIS WEEK AT JPII

November 15, 2020

SAINT OF THE WEEK

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was the first canonized Saint to have been born in the United States. After the death of her husband, she converted to Catholicism and founded an order of teaching Sisters in Emmitsburg, MD. There they founded the first free Catholic school in America. She is the patroness of Catholic education, widows, seafarers, and the state of Maryland. READ MORE
