Mother’s Day Novena of Masses

 We will be celebrating a Novena of Masses (Nine Masses) at St. Elizabeth Seton beginning on Mother’s Day to be offered for all the Women, living and dead who have touched us in some way, and whom we want to remember with a series of Masses. For those who have lost Mothers and Grandmothers, it is especially fitting to remember them in this fashion since we cannot each have a Mass intention on Mother’s Day and the week following. Please be thinking of the names you would want included on the altar for those Masses. 

Save the Date!

May is the month that the Church has traditionally set aside to Honor Mary, the Mother of God.   The Knights are inviting parishioners, families and anyone wishing to honor our Blessed Mother to join us for 30 minutes praying the Rosary on these three nights. We are hoping to have 100 people or more join us on each of these three nights.

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!
