Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton Awards

"Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side;
Hope supports it on the other;
Experience says it must be and love says let it be."
-Mother Seton 

The Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton awards celebrate individuals in our school communities who emulate what it means to serve. These people give selflessly day in and day out with their time, talents, and treasures. Their service to our schools and their stand-out volunteerism is the reason for the recognition, but ultimately their support of Catholic education shows their devotion to Christ and his teachings.
