The Feast Day of the patron saint of a parish is a time of celebration. On Saturday, January 4th, the Church celebrates Saint Elizabeth. Could you find a way to make it a special day? Perhaps you can say one of her favorite prayers – the Rosary, or attend Mass, where you can receive the same Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist that fueled her life. You can look up more about her life and find inspirational quotes on her National Shrine website. Elizabeth Ann Seton fervently prayed throughout her life, both in difficult times and not-so-difficult times, and she frequently provided wise advice to encourage, console, and inspire family, friends, and the Sisters in her congregation. Such prayers and quotes are a way to give you hope and encouragement in these challenging circumstances.
