Our Parish’s 50th Anniversary

 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of our parish's founding in 1975, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's canonization. Learn more about our patron saint from the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Also of local interest on the Seton Shrine website is "Saints On Their Way," which features several people on the path to sainthood, including Charlene Richard, Henriette DeLille and Fr. Francis Xavier Seelos.

We are marking this milestone year with some special activities and we invite you to share in this celebration with your parish family. Download the event flier.
