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 ...

  The Easter season is filled with reminders of how new life is offered to us, especially in the celebration of the sacraments. Of course, there is no greater celebration for us than the Mass, which invites us into that profound mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. I am truly grateful to all of our ministers who assist at each of the Masses here at SEAS. Beginning with the May schedule, ushers, servers, lectors and extraordinary ministers of the eucharist will be asked to sign up for the Masses at which they would like to minister. This way, ministers know when they will be available and which Masses they have committed to for that coming month. Sign-up sheets for this May and June are posted in the lobby. We also have begun using a ministry coordinator at each weekend Mass. Their role is to make sure that the ministers for each Mass are present and to find a substitute if someone doesn't show. Thanks to Ruth Ann Sroka (Saturday 4 p.m.), Betty Bush (Sunday 9 a.m.) and Jean Tibbs (Sunday 11 a.m.) for helping with this.

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!
