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 ...
This weekend kicks off the 2025 Catholic Charities annual appeal. Last year our parishioners surpassed the goal amount set by the diocese for us. This year, our goal is a little over $21,000. I know how generous our people are, especially knowing that the money will go toward helping the more than 400,000 people in northeast Ohio who rely on these programs and facilities. Thank you for showing them your love and support.
Ash Wednesday will begin the season of Lent on March 5. That still gives us some time to consider what we might do to make this time spiritually fruitful. One thing you may want to consider to help you prepare is to read our bishop's pastoral letter entitled, "A Flourishing Apostolic Church," which encourages the faithful of the Diocese of Cleveland to pray, celebrate the sacraments and serve those in need.
You can read the letter in full on the diocesan website HERE.
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!

AN URGENT APPEAL FOR THE L.A. FIRE VICTIMS
With the devastation of the Los Angeles County fires over the past weeks, the diocese has received many inquiries about how to help the victims of this terrible tragedy. Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) is assisting with humanitarian relief through the local agencies on the ground and will continue to help during the extensive recovery period to come. We ask that you continue to pray for the victims of the fires, and encourage you to support them financially. All donations should be remitted directly to CCUSA, which will ensure that funds are quickly available for critical relief efforts, including shelter, food and other humanitarian aid for those most in need.
The mailing address is: Catholic Charities USA 2050 Ballenger Ave., #400 Alexandria, VA 22314
Also CCUSA Los Angeles Wildfires relief donation page. One hundred percent of all donations will be allocated to Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, which will provide critical humanitarian relief to those most in need. Gifts can also be made by texting “FIRES” to 20406.
A collection for Catholic Charities will be taken Feb 15 & 16.
