Episode Synopsis

9/8/25 - Sister Betty Ann McNeil, D.C., Vincentian Scholar-in-Residence at DePaul University and leading expert on the Setonian tradition, joins us to discuss her work as editor of the new Ignatius Press edition of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton: A Spiritual Portrait. This classic text, originally compiled by Sulpician Father Joseph Dirvin, gathers Mother Seton's own writings, letters, and reflections, offering a window into her deep love for Scripture, the Eucharist, and God's providence. In this interview, Sister Betty Ann explores how Saint Elizabeth's experiences as a widowed mother, convert, and founder of the Sisters of Charity shed light on concrete challenges like raising children in the faith, facing loss with hope, and building Catholic education in America.
