Welcome to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish
From Fr. Ed Holland, Pastor
Elizabeth was the first native-born American citizen to be canonized a saint and was a convert to the Catholic faith.
What led her to the Church? She writes that it was first the welcome that she received from Catholics during the difficult
time of her husband’s illness and death. She was welcomed and loved by people who truly lived what their faith taught about welcoming the stranger and caring for those in need. This welcome led her more deeply into her own Christian faith and eventually helped her discover the joys and treasures of faith in the Catholic Church. Elizabeth put into practice that same welcome that she experienced and would live the rest of her life in service to others. We pray for her intercession that we, too, might live that same spirit of welcome and service. So thank you for visiting us here at
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Columbia Station, Ohio. Please know that you are always welcome here!
From the Desk of Father Ed ...
I want to give you a heads up for next Saturday, June 29. The Columbia Hometown Parade is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m., which is the same time as our vigil Mass. I have been assured by the organizer that the sheriff will let people through the traffic barricade until 4 p.m. if you are coming to SEAS for Mass, so you might want to come a little early just in case. Also next weekend, we will have our annual mission appeal. This year we welcome Father Christopher from the Polish Redemptorists. The second collection will be for their ministry. The annual mission appeal is the only time we take a second collection, so please be generous as you are able. If you will be making a donation by check for the second collection, please make it payable to SEAS and write "Mission" on the memo line.
Greetings from Deacon Bob Sabol!
God gives us so many wonderful things. The joy and the challenge that each day brings.
The song of the meadowlark, the kiss of the sun, the rich satisfaction of a job well done. The beauty of nature, the wisdom of years, the blessings of friendship that brighten and cheers. The warmth of remembrance, the comfort of prayers, and the dearest of blessings His own loving care.
We celebrate these gifts and more every day at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish.
Join us when you are in the neighborhood. Tell them the Deacon sent you!
