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
THIRTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
NOVEMBER 18, 2018
THIS WEEK'S FOCUS: THE END IS NEAR, OR IS IT?
In a way, it would be simpler to live out the rest of our lives if we knew precisely when all would come to an end. Jesus calls us to something more difficult: living that way even though we don’t know.
