We, the Roman Catholic Parish of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, are an all-embracing, diverse Christian community who warmly welcomes everyone to join us. We draw closer to God and one another through worship, which nourishes us for service to our brothers and sisters. We choose to combine our many gifts to teach, celebrate, evangelize help those in need and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in word and deed. Amen.

These words were spoken by St. Pope Paul VI on September 14, 1975,

the Canonization Day of Elizabeth Ann Bailey Seton.

“Rejoice, we say to the great Nation of the United States of America.

Rejoice for your glorious daughter. Be proud of her.

And know how to preserve her fruitful heritage.”

And these words were spoken by Pope Francis

on the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time, 2019:

"the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time is to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God".

DIOCESAN NEWS ~ Bishop Malooly will preside at a Holy Hour for Life and a Mass for Life, on Friday, January 29, 2021. Both online events are a part of the

National Prayer Vigil for Life sponsored by the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Holy Hour will debut at 4:00 a.m., and the Mass will be live-streamed at 10:00 a.m. Both events will be shown on the diocesan YouTube channel, YouTube.com/DioceseofWilm, and are from the beautiful and historic Cathedral of Saint Peter in Wilmington, Delaware.

Catholics across the country are encouraged to observe a nationwide prayer vigil from Thursday, January 28 to Friday, January 29, 2021 marking the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalizing abortion through nine months of pregnancy. Since those decisions, over 60 million abortions have been performed legally in the United States. Let us pray to respect life from conception to natural death.

Pg 3-314

They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

“Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.

The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
