Pilgrimage to tomb of Mother Seton at St Josephs
In Emmitsburg Maryland on June 14 members of the Maryland Chapter International Federation of Catholic Alumnae will visit the tomb of Mother Seton at St Joseph’s College. The federation traces to St Joseph’s College founders Sister Mary Paula Kogan and Mrs Clara Sheran. Mother Seton founded St Joseph’s College in 1809 and organized the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul in the United States. A papal decree in March authorized her beatification, potentially making her the first native born American saint.
