The Mother Seton Award is presented annually by each school in the Diocese of Baton Rouge to honor one individual within the home and school community who emulates the qualities and service of Mother Elizabeth Anne Seton, for whom the award is named. Mother Seton was the founder of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and a pioneer in Catholic education. She established the first Catholic elementary school in the United States in Baltimore in 1808 as well as an orphanage in Philadelphia in 1814. Through her life as a wife, mother, widow and member of a religious order, Mother Seton became an exemplary role model and an inspiration to others who follow in her footsteps. She was canonized in 1975 by Pope Paul VI.

Join Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation, LSU Athletics, The LCLUB, Our Lady of the Lake Health, and The Joe Burrow Foundation for the second annual "Planting Seeds of Hope" 2025 community event — an evening committed to increasing mental health awareness and fostering open dialogue.

This event addresses a critical need in our community. According to the CDC, suicide is the leading cause of death in adolescents and young adults.
