Help Us Renew Our Parking Lot

Thanks to the generosity of several donors, we are already 25% of the way toward funding the replacement of our parish parking lot. We are grateful for this wonderful start, but we need the support of our entire parish family.  Your gift will help us:

• Improve safety by replacing deteriorated pavement and eliminating uneven surfaces.
• Protect parish property while reducing the need for costly future repairs. 
• Enhance accessibility for seniors, families with young children, and those with mobility challenges.
• Create a welcoming first impression for everyone who visits our parish.
• Preserve our campus for generations to come.

Every gift—large or small—moves us closer to our goal. Please prayerfully consider contributing to this important project. Together, we have already reached 25% of our goal. With your continued generosity and support, we can complete this project and provide a safe, welcoming, and lasting home for our parish community. Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your faithful commitment to St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. Together, we are building a stronger foundation for the future.  Donations can be made in the collection basket (marked “Parking Lot Fund”), at the parish office, or online at https://giving.myparishsoft.io//app/giving/WeShare-20000097?tab=home.

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!
