Parish Mission Statement The Catholic community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, united in the love of God, comes together to worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to provide for the spiritual growth of each member, to minister to one another’s needs, to be servants and neighbors to all, to strengthen and share faith, to experience the richness of Jesus Christ. The Catholic community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, aware of its call to be the good news, accomplishes its mission through worship, education, service and personal example.

May God Bless and keep safe in his care our Service Men and Women whose lives are in danger every day. They heroically serve to defend and maintain freedom around the world as well as at home. Our prayer for them reflects our great admiration and love for them. May God bless them, watch over them, and protect them always.

Anna Asks) Why is it important to rest from labor? Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. By taking a day of rest from labor to celebrate labor’s achievements, we are following in the footsteps of the Creator. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us: “God's action is the model for human action. If God "rested and was refreshed" on the seventh day, man too ought to "rest" and should let others, especially the poor, "be refreshed." The Sabbath brings everyday work to a halt and provides a respite. It is a day of protest against the servitude of work and the worship of money.” (CCC no. 2172). Let this reminder challenge your Sunday habits. How can you better honor the Lord’s day?

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is on Social Media Well, the parish is anyways. Internet wasn’t quite invented during her time, but her letters show that she would have been excellent on Facebook and Twitter. Please follow our Social Media links (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) through the parish website. They are found on the bottom footer of the website.
