St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

The Seton Cancer Institute is proudly named after one of St. Mary's founding mothers: Elizabeth Ann Bailey Seton. Elizabeth Ann was the first American-born saint. In her short life of 47 years (1774–1821), she was a society belle and matron, wife, mother of five, widow, and a religious foundress (the American Sisters of Charity).

In addition to founding the first native community of religious women, she established the first free Catholic day school, from which parochial schools emerged, and she opened the first Catholic orphanage. A member of one of New York's first families in the early American republic, she experienced sickness and loss and performed great works of mercy and charity. Mother Seton was canonized on Sept. 14, 1975. Her spiritual life, which developed from ordinary goodness to heroic sanctity, continues to offer hope and healing to people even to this day.

The Seton Cancer Institute is so named to honor her memory and to continue to share the hope of healing for all of God's children in this world and the world to come.
