Elizabeth’s missions were to nurture parish family life- to create one out of many; and respond to the spiritual, educational, physical and social needs of the parish family members; and challenge each other to grow in our Catholic faith and service to one another; and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ by work and action to the larger community in which we live, work and play.

Rerum Novarum is an encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIII on 15 May 1891. The pope was responding to the growing concern that the new Age of Industrialization meant putting workers into crowded, unsafe factories where they worked long hours. These conditions were an affront to the human dignity of the workers, and served as an example of putting profit before people, which became a recurring issue in papal encyclicals over the next century and beyond. During the Industrial Revolution Elizabeth Seton created schools for the fellow children working long tiredly hours and guided them in the way of the Lord when they needed help. Unforchantly Elizabeth wasn't around when this document was written. Although this didn't stop her from doing what she was doing in order to still believe in the Christian Community

The Good Samaritan
29    But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30    30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

31    36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

32    37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

33    Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

This parable was written by Luke (10:25-37) and it was set out in Jerusalem on a walking road where a robber hurts a man and steals from him. While the man is laying there a Priest and a Levite walk past not give any care for the man. The Samaritan stops in his tracks to help the man. This Parable has two meanings to it but the one that relates to my reformer the most is the part about caring for your neighbour. Back then a Samaritan was classified as a person who was rude a didn't care about anyone. Although this one person made a change and was helping out that man.

This parable relates to Elizabeth Seton because it shows the kind deeds the Samaritan did for the hurt man. The kind acts Elizabeth portrayed was creating a free Catholic school for the young poorer kids who worked during the industrial revolution. She founded the Sisters of Charity and made a big influence on families.

What? (living and working conditions of the people at the time) 

# data[].attributes.body
The industrial revolution refers itself "to a change from hand and home production to machine and factory." The working conditions during this time for children specifically was dreadful. The children were forced to start work at a very young age. Working in the polluted factories had major effects on the heath of those children. Most schools were for the wealthier families, while to poorer children needed to work long tiredly hours.

In 1797, she joined Isabella M. Graham and others and found the first charitable institution in New York City- The Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children. In 1808 Seton accepted an invitation from the Reverend William Dubourg, president of St. Mary’s College in Baltimore, Maryland, to open a school for Catholic girls in that city. Several young women joined in her work. A few months later Mother Seton and the Sisters moved their home and school to Emmitsburg, Maryland, where they provided free education for the poor girls of the parish- Catholic parochial education in the United States. On March 25, 1809, Elizabeth Seton pronounced her vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, binding for one year. From that time, she was called Mother Seton.

Elizabeth was born in New York City on the 28th of August 1774 and died on the 4th of January 1821 at the age of 46, only sixteen years after becoming a Catholic. She founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity.
Born two years before the American revolution (that’s the reason why she did what she did) She married a very successful man and lived in a very wealthy family. Served humanity and was Canonised by Pope Paul V1 on September 14th, 1975.  Elizabeth had a very heartbreaking life before she became a Saint. Her mother died when she was three and her husband died from tuberculosis in 1803, leaving Elizabeth a young widow. 1805 after her husband died she discovered the Catholic church and became a part of it. Seton developed a love for nature and a sense of God’s presence. When she was lonely she would talk to God for companionship and it was at this time she started reading the Bible. Elizabeth Seton is the patron saint of seafarers. This is where a person works on a ship or is involved in sailing. She was a lady of prayer and service who followed in the footsteps of Louise De Marillac. Marillac and Vincent de Paul founded the Daughters of Charity.
