Monday Night Rosary In May – With The Knights of Columbus

 May 19th at 7 PM

May is the month that the Church has traditionally set aside to Honor Mary, the Mother of God.   The Knights are inviting parishioners, families and anyone wishing to honor our Blessed Mother to join us for 30 minutes praying the Rosary on these three nights. We are hoping to have 100 people or more join us on each of these three nights.

Blood Drive

May 31st - 7:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Sponsored by the SES Knights of Columbus

Did you know that 70% of us will require a blood transfusion at some point in our lives, but less than 5% of the population donate blood!  If you haven't donated blood in the past, there's no better time to start than on May 31st! Each unit donated can help save the lives of up to three people!  Schedule your time-slot by sending an email to   sesblooddrives@gmail.com or by visiting https://donateblood.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/5609962 

Father’s Day Novena of Masses

We will be celebrating a Novena of Masses (Nine Masses) at St. Elizabeth Seton beginning on Father’s Day to be offered for all the Men, living and deceased who have touched us in some way, and whom we want to remember with a series of Masses. For those who have lost Fathers and Grandfathers, it is especially fitting to remember them in this fashion since we cannot each have a Mass intention on Father’s Day and the week following. Please be thinking of the names you would want included on the altar for those Masses. Envelopes for those names will be in the pews for your intentions. This is the same type of Novena of Masses we did for Mother’s Day. But this time we remember those men both living and deceased. Please be prepared to give us the names of those men from your lives whom you would like remembered.

SHOP-SES

SHOP-SES cards are a great idea for Father’s Day. The complete list of cards immediately available can be found on the parish website https://www.sesnaperville.org/shop-ses .  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 (June 14 & 15),  before and after the 5:00, 8:30 and 10:00 Masses and before the 11:30 Mass in the lower level - for last minute shopping.

Corpus Christi

Please join us for our Corpus Christi Procession on Saturday, June 21 following the 5 pm Mass. 

We will celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ by taking His Eucharistic Presence to the world, as we process with the Blessed Sacrament around the grounds at St. Elizabeth Seton. We will stop at four altars, facing each of the four directions (north, south, east and west), singing and praying as we proclaim Jesus' living presence to all people. We invite you and your family to participate in this memorable Catholic tradition. 

Independence Day

Friday, July 4 - 8:15am Mass

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!
