Today's visit was a glorious Monday morning in mid June when the visitors were limited and action parking places available (althogh I drove there from home about 2 miles away on my bicycle.) The new parking lot is far more bus than automobile-friendly, thus the best time to visit is a weekday morning. I must say that viewing the sun set from the summit of LRT is out of this world!

It is a popular spot for visitors to stop by. The park did some great improvements to Little Round Top since our last visit here in 2018. Noticeable is the improved parking area and better pathways. They've also cleared and cleaned up the wild vegetation and added new interpretative signs making for an improved visitor experience. We didn't do any hiking on the new trails this winter but we enjoyed seeing some of the improvements around the area of Hazletts Battery and my first time up close to see the 44th New York Monument.

Unfortunately, our time was limited as we were invited as guests to witness the return of something special belonging to Mother Seton. We met in the Marian Room, which had lovely display cases filled with statues of the Virgin Mary (as well as icons) from around the world. We also had a few minutes in the Civil War Sisters Room which highlighted how the sisters served as nurses and were called "angels of the battlefield" by both Union and Confederate soldiers. We then went up to visit the Basilica. The church was completed in 1965, so it is a new church by most standards. It was designed to be just a chapel for the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph. Their order was founded in 1809 and later became known as the Daughters of Charity. All plans were changed when Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was beatified on March 17, 1963 by Pope John 23rd in Rome, Italy (which I was fortunate enough to attend as I was living in Rome at the time). They decided to build a larger church to honor Blessed Elizabeth Ann Seton. In 1991, the shrine's chapel was designated as a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II. The church is large, open, simple, and just beautiful. Make sure you take time to admire the multiple stained glass windows, the marble and bronze, and the mosaics - especially around the main altar. The many works of art can be attributed to artisans and craftsmen from Italy and Germany. When Mother Seton was canonized in 1975, she was the first American saint of only three in the Catholic Church's history. Her remains were moved from the "God's Little Acre" cemetery to the basilica. There is a special altar on the right side that is called the Altar of Relics. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton's remains rest in a small copper casket beneath the altar enclosed in marble. There is a small relic sitting on top of the altar. The statue of Mother Seton has her dressed in the habit that she and the Sisters of Charity wore since 1809. It was sculpted in Italy. Please do take the time to see the entire complex. It is so worth it!
