Lenten Giving Project

St. Joseph Mission in Ethiopia

This year’s Lenten Giving Project will help support the St. Joseph Mission in Ethiopia. Fr. Miguel Guillen, M.J., is a Missionary of St. Joseph and serving in the village of Chena. The needs of this parish are many and include building a new church, providing water to the mission house and construction of lodging for their volunteers. Your donations will help to realize these crucial needs. Donations can be made by using the Lenten Giving Bag (distributed on Ash Wednesday) and returning it on Palm Sunday, by giving online through WeShare or by writing a check to SES with Lenten Giving-Ethiopia written in the memo section

STATIONS OF THE CROSS…THE WAY OF THE CROSS

 The Way of the Cross, also known as Stations of the Cross, will take place each Friday during Lent.

The Way of the Cross began in the earliest days of the Church, and in the 1500s, replicas of the steps Jesus took along His path to Calvary began to be mounted on walls.  There are several versions of The Way of the Cross, and each Friday we will use a different version. Please join us as we follow The Way of the Cross, and spend 14 minutes in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament afterwards.   Contact Deacon Gerard with questions:   FunDeacon@yahoo.com

Email Phishing

PLEASE IGNORE any email messages from Father Scott Huggins or any of the deacons or staff from St. Elizabeth Seton that are asking for a favor, asking you to call a number or asking you to buy gift certificates.  These emails are scams! We have been notified that some of our parishioners are receiving these emails and want to assure all of you that no one from St. Elizabeth Seton is sending them directly. Please do not respond or call the number within the email.

Help Us Update Our Records!

If you have an adult child who no longer attends St. Elizabeth Seton because they are married or have moved from your home, please let us know so we can update your family records. It is important for us to maintain accurate membership counts for our census report to the Diocese. Please reply to this email, send an email to stelizabethseton@gmail.com or contact the Parish Office at 630-416-3325 to let us know!
 

Has Your Phone Number Changed?

Many households are disconnecting their landlines and using their cell phones as their primary form of contact. In order to keep our database and phone directory up to date, we need to know if your contact information has changed. If you no longer have a landline, do you want your cell phone number to be used as the primary contact? Do you want it published in the annual phone directory? Please contact the Parish Office at 630-416-3325 or email stelizabethseton@gmail.com to let us know!
