A Time for Miracles

A Time For Miracles is a 1980 American made-for-television biographical drama film chronicling the life story of America's first native born saint, Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton.

It was produced by ABC Circle Films for the American Broadcasting Company and telecast December 21, 1980, as a Christmas special.

The script was written by Henry Denker with collaboration with Sister Mary Hilaire and filmed in Georgia.

Eventually she, her daughter, and a band of young women who have joined her rattle west in a covered wagon into the countryside, to Emmitsburg, Maryland., where, on an initial diet of salt pork and carrot coffee, she sets up a school and a convent for her growing sisterhood, Sisters of Charity.

The Roman Catholic Church requires 2 attested miracles to become a saint and 3 were attributed to Mother Seton.
