St. Elizabeth Ann Seton August 9th, 2020 Bulletin

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish

Bringing People Into A Growing Relationship With Jesus Christ

Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Christ calls us to be neither cowardly nor reckless. This is what we call courage. It is facing the trials of the world with eyes open and with an awareness of the dangers and challenges, while also trusting in His purpose and His love. In courage we must trust God but not put God to the test.

In what areas of your life are you trusting your own judgment rather than having courage and trusting God completely?

Preregistration for Mass

We were so excited to see many of you this past weekend at Mass! This weekend, we will have even more seats available for you as we are opening more pews. We will still maintain at 6 foot distance between families and individuals. We want the worship experience to be enjoyable at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and are striving to do that while keeping you safe. We hope you'll join us! There is a seat ready for you!

Thank you to everyone that has already preregistered for this weekend's Mass. When you preregister, it helps us plan for the weekend and gives us the information we need for Covid-19 purposes.
