Over 150 Relics are Coming to SEAS! |
|
This exposition involves some 150 relics, including those of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the "Little Flower"), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. The supreme highlight is one of the largest relics of the Church's claim to the True Cross in the world and a piece of the Veil that, according to sanctioned tradition, is believed to have belonged to Our Lady.
Join us in the sanctuary at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 11. Our regularly scheduled 5:15 p.m. Mass that evening will be moved to 8:00 a.m.

Graduation is on the Horizon! |
|
Graduation is fast approaching and SEAS wants to honor our high school seniors! Last year we created a bulletin insert featuring our seniors and their plans for the future. Parishioners loved the opportunity to see who was graduating so they could pray for them by name, so let’s do it again for the June 6, 2021 bulletin!
If you would like to see your senior featured in our bulletin and on our website, click HERE for complete information! |
