We traveled to Emmitsburg to embrace the Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine and it was awesome. Here is her history. Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York City on August 28, 1774 to a prominent Episcopal family, and lost her mother at the age of three. In 1794, at the age of 19, Elizabeth married William Magee Seton, a wealthy businessman with whom she had five children. William died of tuberculosis in 1803, leaving Elizabeth a young widow. After discovering Catholicism in Italy, where her husband had died, Elizabeth returned to the United States and entered the Catholic Church in 1805 in New York.

After a number of difficult years, Elizabeth moved in 1809 to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph’s, the first community for religious women established in the United States. She also began St. Joseph’s Academy and Free all women’s School, planting the seeds of Catholic education in the United States. Her legacy now includes religious congregations in the United States and Canada, whose members work on the unmet needs of people living in poverty in North America and beyond.

Mother Seton, as she is often called, was canonized on Sunday, September 14, 1975 in St. Peter’s Square by Pope Paul VI. She was the first citizen born in the United States to be given the title of “Saint.” Her remains are entombed in Emmitsburg in the Basilica at the National Shrine that bears her name. The beautiful Basilica and attached buildings have incredible museums with art work, historical information and Photos below.

While visiting here I recommend  visiting : The Taneytown  Railroad museum, *The Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Museum of American Civil War as well as doing a ghost tour of Gettysburg and the Shriver House Museum and also visit Union Mills for the Union Mills Homestead of the Shriver family. One can stay in the Antrim in Taneytown or The Federal Pointe Inn in Gettysburg.
