Seton teachers tour
Gettysburg, Saint's home

Seton Catholic School teachers visited Gettysburg, Pa., and Emmitsburg, Md., Aug. 10 and 11 as an alternative to the traditional professional meetings.

They toured Civil War battlefields and the town of Gettysburg on Aug. 10.

On Aug. 11, they toured the home of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, where she lived from 1809 until her death in 1821. Her remains are entombed in the Basilica that bears her name in Emmitsburg.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton is the first American born Saint, a founder of Catholic education in the U.S., and patroness and guardian of Seton Catholic School of Hudson. The Seton staff learned about her life, discovered the depths of her faith, walked in her footsteps, and celebrated Mass in the Basilica.

The excursion was funded through private donations.

"The dedication of my staff to teaching and learning was truly evidenced as they immersed themselves in this summer pilgrimage and strengthened professional and personal relationships," said Principal Harry Selner. "This trip enhanced our commitment to always live out the Seton mission."
