The Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Museum

If you are a parent, an adult involved with children, or a teacher, we invite you to use these lesson and teaching ideas on the life of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

What is most remarkable about St. Elizabeth is the many roles she played before she was considered for sainthood: wife, mother of five children, widow, religious convert, educator, and foundress of an order of women religious, the Sisters of Charity. Regardless of their age, children will be fascinated by Elizabeth Ann Seton, the woman. Each phase of her life offers the possibility for teaching and learning the values of faith, hope, and charity.
