Matthew 18:19 - Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Don't miss out on signing your family up for our new Children's Ministry option.

You'll receive a "Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families" book to use as a weekly Mass resource.

You'll also be included in a private PRAYZfamilies Facebook group where we'll share about the conversations and Sunday activity experience.

Books will be available for pick up after Masses on Sunday, as well as the Parish Office.

There's still time to sign up for Alpha! Adult Alpha just started last week and Alpha Youth begins this week. Don't miss out. Find out more on our website and join us!

Xavier High School Foundation is excited to share a reimagined and rebranded parish appeal, now called Xavier Impact Fund (XIF). Our Catholic community is stronger together, and your gift to XIF will help make an impact with family financial assistance, build the newly established teacher endowment, and to advance our faith/academics at XHS. Plus, exciting and new in 2020 – We are committed to our partner parishes and so every dollar raised above the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton goal of $90,500 will go back to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton to be used for the greatest need! 

XIF parish outreach will kick off at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton during Masses next weekend, October 17-18 and on 24-25. Attending Mass in person? Get your whole family to fly the navy, silver and white colors by wearing your favorite Xavier spirit gear, and volunteer in any capacity to help the parish on the appeal weekends.

Our Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton chairs Phil and Sue Lowder would love to have your help! There are many changes to the campaign due to COVID-19 to keep our volunteers and donors safe, so please watch your mailbox for a commitment card that can be either dropped off after Mass with a volunteer outside the main doors, or mailed in at your convenience. Call 319-378-4571 or email development@xavierfoundation.org with any questions. Thank you for your prayers and support – Let’s Go Saints!

Scouts will distribute bags after all three Masses on October 10th and 11th. Parishioners can fill the bags with canned goods and return them to church during the weekend Masses on October 17th and 18th when Scouts will be collecting them or drop them off during the week at the normal MCO drop off area. The food will be donated to the Metro Catholic Outreach (MCO).

Last year, Cub Scout Pack 27 donated over 1,000 lbs of food to MCO during our Scouting for Food event, please help us make this year even more successful!

100% of dollars go to fund over 40+ Student Activities & Athletics. Each year XBC allocates over $75,000 to Xavier programs. Over 150+ Saints supporters, parishioners, families, friends, alumni and businesses have already signed up.
