Mother Seton: Patron Saint of Catholic Schools and Widows. Feast Day January 4th. Elizabeth Ann Seton was a religious sister known as the founder of Catholic education. Because our circle is named in her honor, our circle supports our Cathedral school by donating a scholarship every year. Our group also sponsors a family from Catholic Social Services at Christmas. Our circle consists of fun-loving Catholic women of diverse ages. We meet 3 times a year, in September, December and May, but the minutes from the monthly meeting of the PCCW are shared with the group after each monthly meeting. Our circle is in charge of the Bake Sale and Epiphany Bingo, along with other duties assigned. |
