What was it like to live as a woman of faith in early republic America? What was it like to live as a Catholic in the early United States?

Catherine O’Donnell, an Associate Professor of History at Arizona State University and author of Elizabeth Seton: American Saint, helps us investigate answers to these questions by taking us through the life of the United States’ first saint: Elizabeth Ann Seton.
