We welcome you! Our parish offers programs like OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) where you can ask questions, learn about the Catholic faith, and, if you choose, prepare to become Catholic. See OCIA.
Every individual walks a unique path of faith, and growth begins with knowing where you are. The Stages of Conversion and Discipleship tool helps you reflect on your relationship with Christ and identify the season you’re in.
The Clear Path is our parish’s roadmap for growing in faith. It helps individuals know “what’s next” in their journey and how to continue growing.
Knowing where you are in your faith journey and how to grow through it is crucial to our parish’s mission in living out the Great Commission! To learn more about these resources and how they all tie together, visit Mission and Vision.
Please visit Liturgical Blessings.
The Mother Seton Food Pantry was established in February 2019 to support parishioners who were struggling financially as a result of the partial government shutdown. A few months later, services were expanded to include families experiencing food insufficiency in the surrounding community and remain in operation today. The pantry stocks nourishing non-perishable foods. Elderly parishioners or those who are ill and in need of groceries may call to inquire about having groceries delivered to their homes.
Please Remember: We are a small pantry so we only have room for items on our list. You may place your donations in the labeled bins in the Fellowship Hall anytime the church building is open. Kindly check the dates and don’t leave expired food. Thank you so very much for helping our neighbors in need! See Full List of Acceptable Items Here
Hours of Operation: Thursdays, 12:00pm – 2:00pm
Connect with Food Pantry
When we face challenges in life, sometimes the overwhelmingness of our situations can cause us to lose our way. Here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, our parishioners have teamed up to create Seton Lake Ridge Help Network. This network allows us to connect with and help each other, especially in times of need. No request is too little or too big.
When a parishioner with a genuine need is identified, an email containing relevant details is sent to the network members and whoever is available to help, will be given an opportunity to do so. Examples of this could look like: an elderly parishioner needing a ride to Mass, a parishioner in the hospital needing meals cooked for their family, etc.
There are many different ways our help network can provide assistance to those in need, so if you are interested in joining the Seton Lake Ridge Help Network, please contact our Director of Human Concerns Outreach.
Our Human Concerns ministry volunteers are willing to assist in shopping for groceries and pharmacy items for those who can’t go because they are in a high-risk category. For those who are in financial hardship and are in need of non-perishable food items and/or toiletries, our Mother Seton Food Pantry is well stocked and is open to parishioners and non-parishioners.
