The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton today begins a year-long national celebration during 2025 of the 50th anniversary of the saint's canonisation.
Mother Seton, as she became known, led a bold and audacious life that resulted in her becoming the first native-born American to be canonised a saint in the Catholic Church on 14 September 1975.
The anniversary events begin on 4 January, Mother Seton’s Feast Day, with a Mass celebrated by Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori (the mass will be shown nationally on EWTN at 6 p.m. EST) and the opening of a new exhibit called "One of Us" at the Shrine's museum in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
