Welcome to st. elizabeth seton CATHOLIC CHURCH!
Our Roman Catholic Parish is a very large, welcoming southwest suburban community of over 2,200 families. Despite our large size as a community, we do seek to create a small town community feel.
We seek to be a place where people know one another, form a welcoming parish family, and live out
our baptismal call to follow the Lord. Please know you are welcome to join our community.

THIS WEEK'S CHURCH BULLETIN
THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH 24, 2019
THIS WEEK'S FOCUS: THE WATER OF LIFE
(For the Saturday, March 23, 5pm, we are using the Readings from Year A for the Scrutinies for the RCIA)
The most common substance on earth — water — is also the most precious. It is no wonder that the stories of our salvation feature it so frequently.
