We Remember

Brendon S. Browne

Who entered new and eternal life in Christ. Our parish condolences are extended to his family.

Grant to all our dearly departed eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on

them forever. Amen.

An Easter Thank You!

It’s hard to believe that Holy Week

has come and gone! The liturgies

were so wonderful and many

people need to be thanked. Thank

you to those who decorated and helped trans-

form the church to its Easter beauty; also the

Eucharistic Ministers, lectors, altar servers,

Master of Ceremonies and music ministries,

all did a fantastic job. This Easter was truly a

wonderful experience for all who attended the

liturgies because of everyone who volun-

teered their time and effort. Our sincerest

thanks also goes to the wonderful generosity

of everyone who contributed to the Easter

offering. God Bless!

Msgr. Quinn &

Msgr. Gilbert

"Hunger knows no season. The 40 Cans for Lent Food Drive was incredibly successful thanks to the generosity of St. Elizabeth Seton Parishion-ers. You brought us over 1,200 pounds of food and donated over $2,500 to help St. Raphael

Food Pantry feed hungry families. The food you donated will be on the tables of the hungry this

week. Thank you for making this season of Lenten sacrifice a season of less hunger for

those in need. Knights of Columbus"
