The National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

"This is a Catholic Shrine . Very peaceful place . The Grotto need to seen and beautiful gardens where you go to devote yourself to God, Jesus and Mary . You will come back rejuvenated."

"One of the most amazing outdoor experiences you could ever hope to go with your family. This place is truly beautiful and blessed. The ladies at the gift shop were so nice and there was a great selection to purchase from. All the shrines and grottos look well maintained. The grounds are immaculate and well taken care of. There is plenty of parking. Many clean bathrooms near the gift shop. They have a large covered picnic pavilion. If you are nearby, make the stop, it is so worth it. It was easy to find and we were able to park our RV. They are open daily and even offer daily Mass."

"Amazing. Beautiful. Is there really a proper adjective to describe it? I stopped on a trip recently and I'm so glad I did. The basilica is awe-inspiring. It was the first time I've ever visited the final resting place of a saint and knowing I'm standing very near the remains of someone who is surely in heaven. I wish I had more time to closely read the exhibits. The gift shop has a wonderful collection of sacramentals, books, and other religious matter. I will definitely visit again."

"This shrine was just gorgeous as expected. The grounds are highly and beautifully manicured, the building is clean, air conditioned and handicap accessible. We didn't take the paid tour and historical component but we were able to visit the church free. The gift shop was small but we were able to purchase items. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was a teacher and founder of Catholic schools. The cemetery was beautiful as 99.9% of the simple, yet beautiful headstones were for nuns. The oldest one was from 1821. This Shrine was interesting since my grands go to a Catholic school and my daughter is a principal at a Catholic HS."

"Attended the annual Pilgrimage for the Sea Services Mass years ago with the Naval academy midshipmen choir singing the hymns. Found out the event is held each year to honor Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton as Patroness of the Sea Services and devotees ask for her intercession for all the men and women serving in our nation’s Sea Services. Beautiful church, wonderful staff. We visit yearly for our visita iglesia during good friday"
