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 ...
As we prepare to celebrate the Assumption of Mary later this week, we are reminded why this solemnity is so important for us. The resurrection on the Last Day will involve the reuniting of our body and soul, for that is what we are as human beings, a union of body and soul. St. Thomas Aquinas reminded us that if only our soul is saved, then we are not saved. The souls of those who live now in God's presence in heaven are certainly happy, but they are not yet complete.
God uses the Assumption of our Blessed Mother to show us what the promise of the resur rection will look like when it is fulfilled. Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we pray that one day we too will experience the fullness of joy in all that God has promised.
Masses for the Assumption will be offered on Thursday, August 14 at 4 p.m. and on Friday, August 15 at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.
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!
