Born into a wealthy, Episcopalian family, Elizabeth Ann (Bayley) was raised in New York City. At the age of 19 she married a wealthy businessman and later became a mother to five children. Her husband's business failed, and he shortly after passed away of tuberculosis. Elizabeth, needing to raise and educate her children, established a school in Boston, Massachusetts. She also opened a girl's Catholic school in Baltimore, Maryland, and founded the Sisters of Charity in 1805.
