Lenten Giving Project

St. Elizabeth Seton St. Vincent de Paul Conference

This year’s Lenten Giving Project will help to support the SES SVdP Conference who has served our neighbors in need through the enduring generosity of our parish community. Our members personally visit neighbors within the parish boundaries who are seeking assistance. The results of home visits often lead to providing emergency financial assistance such as preventing evictions or homelessness, car payments to allow continued employment, payment for utilities that may be 1-2 months behind, or gift cards for gas or food.   Your donations will help to realize these crucial needs. Donations can be made by using the Lenten Giving envelope (distributed on Ash Wednesday) and returning it on Palm Sunday, by giving online through WeShare or by writing a check to SES with Lenten Giving Project written in the memo section and placing it in the collection basket. Watch the bulletin for more information.

Stations of the Cross...The Way of the Cross

The Way of the Cross, also known as Stations of the Cross, will take place each Friday during Lent.

• The Way of the Cross began in the earliest days of the Church, and in the 1500s, replicas of the steps Jesus took along His path to Calvary began to be mounted on walls.
• There are several versions of The Way of the Cross, and each Friday we will use a different version
• Please join us as we follow The Way of the Cross, and spend 14 minutes in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament afterwards.

March 27 - 6:00pm

April 3 - 3:00pm

SHOP-SES

SHOP-SES IS FREE MONEY FOR OUR PARISH

SHOP-SES is a pre-paid card program in which the parish can purchase store gift cards at a discount. By selling the cards at face value, the parish can generate additional funds without costing the parishioners additional money. Cards are used as cash at the various stores. All you need to do is purchase them prior to making your regular purchases. A list of cards immediately available can be found on the parish website https://www.sesnaperville.org/shop-ses.  YOU CAN HELP by simply using the cards for your daily groceries and other shopping needs. Go to the parish website   https://www.sesnaperville.org/shop-ses and read about the program.  You can place orders and get cards by sending e-mails to SHOP-SES2011@Comcast.net, by calling the parish office at 630-416-3325 or, on the second weekend of the month (April 11&12),  before and after the 5:00, 8:30 and 10:00 Masses and before the 11:30 Mass in the lower level. 

Email Phishing

PLEASE IGNORE any email messages from Father Scott Huggins or any of the deacons or staff from St. Elizabeth Seton that are asking for a favor, asking you to call a number or asking you to buy gift certificates.  These emails are scams! We have been notified that some of our parishioners are receiving these emails and want to assure all of you that no one from St. Elizabeth Seton is sending them directly. Please do not respond or call the number within the email.

Help Us Update Our Records!

If you have an adult child who no longer attends St. Elizabeth Seton because they are married or have moved from your home, please let us know so we can update your family records. It is important for us to maintain accurate membership counts for our census report to the Diocese. Please reply to this email, send an email to stelizabethseton@gmail.com or contact the Parish Office at 630-416-3325 to let us know!
 

Has Your Phone Number Changed?

Many households are disconnecting their landlines and using their cell phones as their primary form of contact. In order to keep our database and phone directory up to date, we need to know if your contact information has changed. If you no longer have a landline, do you want your cell phone number to be used as the primary contact? Do you want it published in the annual phone directory? Please contact the Parish Office at 630-416-3325 or email stelizabethseton@gmail.com   to let us know!
