FEBRUARY 11TH GROUNDBREAKING
Thrilled to have Bishop Rice join us for the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Pavilion Groundbreaking Blessing! Our Parish Council and Building Committee dedicated countless hours to create smart and thoughtful designs that address the growing needs of our community. The purpose-built spaces will enhance our parish life, fostering a stronger sense of community.
With numerous weekly activities on campus, the project is crucial for our parish. It aligns with our Catholic Call to serve the needy, notably through the St Vincent de Paul Society’s food pantry. The new pavilion design includes forward-looking plans to improve pantry storage and engagement.
“We Believe” is more than a building project; it’s an investment in our parish’s vision for community and service. Our 12-week campaign aims to raise $4.5 million, and in week 6 we’re excited to share that we’re 68% of the way to our goal!
While financial support is essential, participation from every parishioner matters most. Your pledge, with flexible payment timing, contributes to our shared success. Check the Flocknote emails for details and pledge options. Let’s build a stronger SEAS community together!

January 2024
I am delighted to announce the launch of our capital campaign, We Believe. Collaborating for a successful campaign offers us the chance to fulfill our mission of charitable assistance to our parish and create a space for parish community gatherings. Our plans include the construction of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Pavilion on the northwest area of our property. This 5,000 square foot space will serve as much-needed storage and distribution for ministry to those in need and also provide for parish activities. Also, included in our plans is the renovation of our Parish Hall. Hours of planning and prayer have gone into preparing for this significant moment in our parish, and I believe it is essential for our continued spiritual growth.
After studying and listening to you, our parishioners, I am convinced that the We Believe capital campaign is the answer. The pastoral council, finance council, building committee, and I have heard many positive and hopeful responses from parishioners. A capital campaign is an extraordinary event for our parish, enabling us to share our blessings to deepen and celebrate our faith, which is essential to our mission as God’s people. The need for an additional building constructed for our service to those in need, more areas for parish ministries and activities, and a renovated Parish Hall are clearly validated for us to continue our service to the Lord and minister to each other well into the future.
On January 6th, we will reach out through SEAS Flocknote to invite your generous financial support. Please take the time to explore the details at seaswebelieve.org, gaining valuable insights and addressing any questions you may have. As you reflect, prayerfully consider making a sacrificial pledge, payable over five years, to play a vital role in shaping the present and future of our parish faith and life. Your early involvement is pivotal.
I would not seek such a commitment if I did not sincerely believe in the importance of this project for the continued vitality of our parish. Please pray for our capital campaign leadership team, who graciously give their treasure and time, with a spirit of faith, hope, and charity.
Thank you in advance for your sacrificial response. I also want to take this opportunity to express gratitude for your fellow parishioners who have faith in our future and are providing this invitation for your participation in the growth of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish.
“We know with certainty that our God calls us to a holy life.” With God’s help and the spiritual support of the Holy Spirit, we will complete this worthy task.
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Reverend Thomas P. Kiefer
Pastor
