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 ...
With all the April showers we've had, I'm hoping for a spectacular display of May flowers. Regardless, God's creation is always beautiful. Here at SEAS, we are truly fortunate to be surrounded by the beauty of nature as we encounter God, who is beauty itself. How blessed we are to see and appreciate all the wonders around us that God has done.
We recently observed Earth Day which serves as a opportunity to remember our call to be good stewards of this world that God has made for us. Pope Francis has emphasized this responsibility more than any other pope in history.
May we take this message to heart so we can pass on this priceless gift of creation to those who will come after us.
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!
