Elizabeth Ann SetonThe National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is located in Frederick County in Emmitsburg. Mother Seton lived here from 1809 until her death in 1821. She founded the Sister of Charity of St. Joseph’s and St. Joseph’s Academy, the first parochial school in the United States. In 1975 she became the first native-born North American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.
