Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was a wife, mother, businesswoman, educator, woman religious, and saint who lived from 1774-1821. The first American-born saint, she is credited with founding the American parochial school system, as well as the Sisters of Charity religious order. The Sisters of Charity, in turn, went on to found what is now Seton Hill University, which was named in honor of Mother Seton.
