The inspiring story of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, whose feast we celebrate today, was only possible because of how she responded to tragedy. It’s an invitation to us all.

In his video today, Cardinal Dolan sends his best wishes to Sister Mary Bosco on her 100th birthday, and shares his personal connection to the retired Sister of Mercy.

On Saturday, January 4, Catholics around the world honor the life and legacy of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton on her feast day. This year, the celebration is especially poignant as we prepare to mark the 50th anniversary of her canonization.
