The first native-born American to be declared a saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821) was canonized in 1975. She was the founder of the first religious community for women in the US, the American Sisters of Charity, and was responsible for laying the foundations of the American Catholic school system. Special services commemorating Elizabeth Ann Seton’s death on January 4, 1821, are held at the Chapel of St. Joseph’s Provincial House of the Daughters of Charity in Emmitsburg, Maryland, the headquarters for her order of nuns.
