St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine

The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine is a Roman Catholic shrine to the first native-born American to be canonized by the Catholic Church. It is located at 7 State Street, in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821), better known as Mother Seton, lived in New York City from 1801 to 1821. She was the founder of the American Sisters of Charity, the first order of nuns in the United States.

Following the American Civil War, the Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary turned the building of the American Sisters of Charity into a shelter for homeless Irish immigrant women. The mission was instrumental in assisting about 170,000 newly arrivals as they adapted to a new life in America. The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary was built in 1883. The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine there was maintained by the Mission.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
