Even though she never set foot in the State of Indiana, she has a very real connection to the Indiana Catholic Church.<br \/>\nServant of God, Simon Brut\u00e9, our first bishop, was Elizabeth Ann&#8217;s spiritual director from September of 1812 until her death in January of 1821.  He had a great deal of influence on her spiritual life and she on his.  Brut\u00e9 said that no one ever impressed his soul so forcibly as Elizabeth Ann Seton.<br \/>\nIn addition, Elizabeth Ann Seton had two bibles as a Catholic.  She used the first from 1805-1813 and the second, from 1813 until her death in 1821.  Both of these bibles are in Indiana.  The first is located in the <a href=\"http:\/\/archives.nd.edu\/\">Archives of the University of Notre Dame<\/a>.  It was given to the university by Robert Seton, grandson of Elizabeth Ann.  The second, was presented to Bishop Brut\u00e9 after Mother Seton&#8217;s death and he brought it with him to Vincennes.  Is it part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evdio.org\/old-cathedral-library--museum.html\">&#8220;Old Cathedral&#8221; Library<\/a>.<br \/>\nElizabeth Ann Seton and Bishop Brut\u00e9 were kindred spirits.  One has been declared a saint, and the other, although not officially declared a saint, will one day be declared one.  It seems clear that holiness rubbed off on each of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, January 4, is the feast of the first American born saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton.
