Join us on-line or in person this weekend! If you join us in person, we strongly encourage wearing a mask to protect the most vulnerable (children, elderly, etc.) in our parish from contracting Covid-19.

We would love it if you served as a minister during Mass! Sign up here.

We invite you to take advantage of our online "home edition" Children's Liturgy of the Word lesson for the Twenty Ninth Sunday of Ordinary Time!

You can also find the weekly Children's Bulletins on our Children's Ministry page.

For the Mass of Remembrance on November 2nd, we'd like to honor our loved ones that we've lost in 2021 with a video during our livestream Mass as well as shared on our YouTube channel. If you lost a loved on in 2021 and would like them to be included, please email a picture to Martha (mgarciawegener@seasp.org) by Wednesday, October 27th. Be sure to include their name as you wish to see it displayed in the video and their relation to you if you'd like that displayed too.

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick will be offered at all Masses on the weekend of October 23rd and 24th. A person does not have to be near death to be anointed. The elderly (because of the aging process), those who have a serious or chronic illness (physical or mental), or those who will undergo surgery soon are encouraged to receive the Sacrament of Anointing.

Those who request to be anointed, do so with complete faith in God, not waiting until their deathbed, as was the practice long ago when the sacrament was called "Extreme Unction."

This Sacrament is for the living and reminds the anointed they are not alone or forgotten. They are part of the whole community and supported by prayers and assistance that is available to them.

All high school teens are invited to participate in our Catholic Question Exploration Teen Series.

Teens will have the opportunity to discuss topics about their faith and get answers to their questions in a small group setting.

The fall series is about heaven, hell & purgatory with Fr. Mike Schmitz.

We will meet via zoom 8-9 PM from October 24th to November 14th.

Join us and invite a friend! Please register by October 21st with Sarah Casey.

St. Elizabeth's Widow/Widower group will meet in person once again in the Formation Center at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, on Monday October 18, at 6 PM. This is a group of friends who have found open time in their schedules due to the loss of a spouse. This is a not grief support group, though they have a deep understanding loss of a husband or wife. We hope that you will consider joining us whether your loss is recent or several years ago. If you have any questions please contact the parish office or email Maureen at moe5240@aol.com.

Congratulations to Henrick Frank Simoens, son of Kevin and Keile and Mary Mackenzie Wiedenheft, daughter of John and Caitlin as they join our parish family through Baptism this weekend!

If you would like information on arranging a private baptism, please contact Kathy Lester.

We are teaming up in a service project with St. Ludmila's to pack Boxes of Joy for the Cross Catholic Outreach Organization. This popular ministry invites people all over the US to pack hope and happiness for thousands of children in dire poverty around the world.

If you'd like to participate, you can pick up an empty Box of Joy to fill outside of the St. E's office or you can use a regular shoe box. Some ideas to fill the box with include small toys, bar soap, pencils, a tooth brush, tooth paste, hard candy, crayons, coloring books or t-shirts. Deliver filled Boxes of Joy to St. E's no later than November 10th. A donation of $9 is requested per box to cover the shipping cost and support the charitable work where the child lives.
