During Pope Francis’ visit to the United States on Sept. 23, President Barack Obama presented His Holiness with the original 1809 key to Mother Seton’s first home in Emmitsburg, known as the Stone House.

It is one of two original keys to the Stone House from the Archives of The Daughters of Charity, Province of Saint Louise. Sister Louise Gallahue and her Council donated the key for the purpose of this gift.
