Sr. Betty Ann McNeil - Today we talk with Sr. Betty about an old book with a new spin, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton: A Spiritual Portrait: Second Edition of The Soul of Elizabeth Seton.

This work is exceptional and unique because it is the only in-depth exploration and analysis based on the actual archival documents of Seton’s life, conversion, spiritual growth and development as the foundress of the Sisters of Charity. It underscores her great importance for the Church in the United States, and the lasting spiritual impact of her enduring legacy as a Catholic convert, an educator and a religious leader.

Madonna House is a Catholic community of laymen, women, and priests who bear witness to the merciful love of God revealed in Christ Jesus. Their life together is modelled after the Holy Family who served humbly in the hidden village of Nazareth, forming the first community of love. They follow the path of Mary, the perfect disciple, under the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience.
