~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 ...
The end is near! Well, at least the end of the church year draws near, and so we hear this theme repeated in the readings. Malachi reminds us that the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays for those who fear the Lord. In the gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that everything, even the majestic temple, will pass away, yet those who persevere will secure their lives. Paul echoes that the call is clear that we must live responsibly, not be idle, and put our faith into action.
Today’s message is one of hopeful vigilance. We are invited not only to await the coming of Christ with longing but also to live as people of integrity now by working with our hands, loving with our hearts, and standing rm when trials come.
Let us remember that the glory of the promised will come, but until then, we must shine the light of Christ in ordinary moments.
May our lives reflect the rising sun of justice, the steadfast work of faith, and the endurance that secures our lives in him.
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!
