The next meeting of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s Bereavement Ministry is on Saturday, May 8th at 10:00 AM, in the St. Mary Room. This ministry is open to anyone who has lost a loved one and would find comfort in being with others who have also lost a loved one.
Plan on joining us on Thursday, May 13th (Ascension Thursday) at 7:00PM to pray a “Living Rosary” together. We pray for the conversion of heart for all those who advocate or promote abortion in our country. We pray all will come to know that all life is sacred. We pray that the practice of destroying life becomes unthinkable. This is a "Living Rosary" in that it is prayed with each person that participates praying the first half of either an "Our Father" (in English) or a "Hail Mary" in the language of their choice. Participants sit in the church pews forming a "Living Rosary". (We will practice social distancing.) Each participant has a candle that is lighted as each "bead" is prayed. After praying the Rosary, we process with our lighted candles to the Meditation Garden to sing a closing Marian hymn. This is a beautiful way to join together in prayer to our Lady asking for her powerful intercession. We pray Living Rosaries both in May and in October since they are months dedicated to our Blessed Mother.
A new Men's Bible Study will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7PM. The first one will be on Tuesday, January 21st. Study scripture with other men in the parish and grow your faith! Call the parish office to sign up (815)459-3033. Contact Paul van de Heuvel at pa320@aol.com with any questions.
Are you or someone that you love in need of healing? Here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, we will occasionally have an Eucharistic Healing Service immediately following the 8:45AM Mass on designated Saturdays throughout the year. This beautiful service will allow individuals who are in need of healing--whether it be spiritual, physical, psychological or emotional-- to place themselves in the presence of our Eucharistic Lord and to be blessed with the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance, while joining their prayers with those of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Join us for this grace-filled service that opens the individual to the Will of God in their lives-- to receive His healing graces and to feel His infinite love.
