In 1975, two hundred years after her birth, Pope Paul VI canonized her, making her the first native-born American to be made a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. The mesmerizing story of a woman whose life featured wealth and poverty, passion and sorrow, love and loss. Elizabeth was born into a prominent New York City family in 1774. Her father was the chief health officer for the Port of New York. Catholicism was illegal in New York when she was born; Catholic priests seen in the city were arrested, sometimes hung. When Elizabeth and her wealthy husband Will sailed to Italy in a doomed attempt to cure his tuberculosis, she and her family were quarantined in a damp dungeon. And when Elizabeth later became a Catholic, she was so scorned that people talked of burning down her house. She established the first Catholic school in the United States, at Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she founded the first American congregation of Religious Sisters, the Sisters of Charity. Elizabeth resisted male clerical control of her religious order, as nuns are doing today."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies.
