Welcome to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church!

On behalf of the faith community of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, we wish to welcome you!  Be assured of our desire to be of service to you and your family.  Our parish is known as an inviting place to worship and continue ones formation in faith through our many religious and social activities and through service to the community.

On the mission of the Church…  “The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God’s word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.  In all its activities the parish encourages and trains its members to be evangelisers.  It is a community of communities, a sanctuary where the thirsty come to drink in the midst of their journey, and a centre of constant missionary outreach… to make them environments of living communion and participation, and to make them completely mission-oriented.”  From Pope Francis’ Evangelii Gaudium

Welcome!

LEARN TO LEAD CAMPAIGN, SEPT 30-OCT 1:  Special Collection Planned in Support of Catholic Schools

“The Learn to Lead Campaign will extend the extraordinary legacy of a system of 23 schools serving families from Virginia Beach to Charlottesville, from Bristol to Roanoke, and from Danville to Richmond.  Together these schools shape the lives of more than 7,000 young people – helping them to realize their greater purpose – succeeding, leading and serving God, their families, churches and communities.

Our goal is to raise $30 million to prepare student leaders in the Diocese of Richmond over the next decade.  Crucial initiatives will fund local priorities at our 23 schools, enhance financial aid opportunities, support economically-disadvantaged schools, develop and retain outstanding teachers and promote Catholic education to a new generation of students.”

Our in-pew donation process will take place the weekend of September 30-October 1.  For more information or to donate, visit:  https://www.learntoleadcampaign.org/.

Daily Mass:  Wednesday, Oct. 4, 11:00 AM.

Prayer Intentions

Adsumus, Sancte Spiritus:

We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name. With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts; Teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it. We are weak and sinful; do not let us promote disorder.

Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions. Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.

All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and Son, forever and ever.  Amen.
