Three miracles that were attributed to the intercession of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774–1821) and deemed authentic by the Roman Catholic Church led to her canonization in 1975. All three involved medically inexplicable recoveries from severe illness, including the recovery of a nun from pancreatic cancer c. 1934, the healing of a 4-year-old girl with leukemia in 1952, and the recovery of a man who was comatose and dying from terminal encephalitis caused by meningitis in 1963.
