~November is the month of the Holy Souls~
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 ...
I want to thank all those who made our 3rd Annual Fall Fest last Sunday a big success.
Special thanks to the Knights of Columbus, Mary Buttner and Francisco Saez, to our volunteers
who helped with the set-up, serving and clean-up and to everyone who participated in the event. Congratulations to the ten door prize winners who each won $100 in cash thanks to the generosity of a local benefactor.
As we celebrate the Dedication of the Lateran Basili ca this weekend, we are reminded how significant our unity in Christ truly is and the role that the pope plays in this. Both Vatican II and the Catechism describe the Roman Pontiff as Peter's successor, who is the
"perpetual and visible principle and foundation of unity"
for both the bishops and all the faithful. This teaching stems directly from Jesus's commission to St. Peter
in the Gospels, where he is named the "rock" on which the Church is built and given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And so we pray for Pope Leo XIV and for the entire Church, that in Christ, we may all be one.
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!
