Two walking pilgrimages will make their way across Maryland this June, converging on the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg to mark the 50th anniversary of her canonization. The milestone celebration honors the first native-born American saint and invites pilgrims to follow her journey of faith, service, and profound love for the Eucharist.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s life, rooted in devotion and service, continues to inspire believers today. Her shrine—the only place in the U.S. where visitors can tour the home of a canonized saint—is expecting hundreds of pilgrims this summer as it commemorates this historic Jubilee year.
