A Triumphant Spirit
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was a trailblazer and independent thinker who never stopped
advocating for the
underserved. She laid the cornerstone for Catholic education in America and, yes,
became the first American-born saint. Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, her nephew, founded
our school in her name, and here, you’ll live by the Seton family motto: Hazard Zet
Forward — Whatever the obstacle, move forward!
