Elizabeth Ann Seton is one of the keystones of the

American Catholic Church. After the death of her

husband, Elizabeth experienced the Catholic Liturgy
and became a believer of the true presence of Jesus in
the Blessed Sacrament and converted, despite the
disapproval of her family.

She founded the first American religious community for
women, the Sisters of Charity. She opened the first
American parish school and established the first
American Catholic orphanage. All this she did in the
span of 46 years while raising her five children. She is
an excellent model for mothers and teachers!

St. Francis grew up in a wealthy family and had
everything that money could buy. He attended fine
parties and had lots of friends, but he often thought that
something was missing from his life. He decided to give
up everything he had to live a simple life and teach
others about God. Many people followed Francis and
his simple lifestyle; they are now known as Franciscans.
St. Francis loved all of Gods creatures, including the
animals! It is a tradition at many Catholic Churches to
hold a Blessing of Pets on his feast day, October 4.
