Become a Member of the Seton Leadership Circle
The Seton Leadership Circle is a distinguished group of supporters who are devoted to advancing the vision of the Daughters of Charity education ministry while embracing the spirituality of Elizabeth Ann Seton, who brought the Vincentian charism of the Daughters of Charity to the United States over 200 years ago. Considered the founder of Catholic education in the United States, Elizabeth Ann Seton became the first American born saint, canonized September 14th, 1975.
Today, the Daughters of Charity sponsor or co-sponsor ten schools in their western province. At the request of the respective bishops, eight of these schools are operated directly by the Daughters of Charity in some of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Phoenix. In the spirit of true Vincentian charity, these schools deliver essential family services and values-based Catholic education, continually achieving excellent outcomes, while never turning a family in need away.
Membership in the Seton Leadership Circle requires a $10,000 minimum annual commitment. Members will be an ongoing source of guidance and insight regarding ways to enhance, improve and expand the overall impact of our education ministry in the communities we serve. Members will also receive periodic updates to share the stories of impact and progress that your investment has enabled.
