Pilgrimage to the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Did you attend a Catholic school? Did your children or gandchildren? Have you ever wondered where the American Catholic school system began?

Join us for a pilgrimage to the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland, the birthplace of the Catholic parochial school system in the United States. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton—a wife, mother, convert to the Catholic faith, and founder of the Sisters of Charity—dedicated her life to educating poor children and building a legacy that continues to bless the Church today.

Learn about her remarkable story and the heroic service of her Sisters of Charity, who cared for wounded soldiers and served selflessly during the Civil War. Our visit will include the Basilica, museum, historic convent, and the nearby National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes.

This pilgrimage offers a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, prayer, and personal reflection—a chance to step away from the busyness of daily life and deepen your faith in the company of fellow parishioners.
