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 ...

 Monday, November 11, is Veterans' Day. We are truly grateful to all who have served in our armed forces, both in times of war and of peace. Although the church office will be closed for the holiday, we hope you will be able to join Deacon Bob as he offers a special Veterans' Day presentation at 12 noon in the church. Thank you to everyone who helped make our Fall SEASonal Fundraiser a success. A list of the winners can be found in today's bulletin.

Our Winter Raffle Fund raiser is set for January. Also, mark your calendars now for February 2, 2025, when we will host our delicious Pasta Dinner.

Finally, let us pray for all of our newly elected offi cials. May they indeed work for the good of all people and recognize their responsibility to be leaders filled with integrity and virtue.

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!
