St Elizabeth Ann Seton Church

I would suggest that Elaine (of a previous review) discuss with a priest exactly what makes a Mass valid. Her complaints sounded odd to me. What about all those Masses said during war times in battle? Would lack of «proper» vessels invalidate them?
I think St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is a perfectly fine, valid, and wonderful parish. Go to it and enjoy.

My family and I belong to this church and it’s really nice. The priest Father Paul Sparklin is a good priest but I think that Father Ed Connelly who passed away two years ago was great! The music director who is British is a polite man and does a good job with the music in masses. I love and always have loved this church and will belong here for the rest of my life until hopefully my time on this Earth is up.

The only thing good to say here is that there is a 5:30p Sunday Mass and their music ministry is fine. But was my Mass valid?! You’d be better off driving to St. Mary in Annapolis-​or closer to a a Mass in Bowie (St. Pius, Sacred Heart-​in the Archdiocese of Washington) at least you know for sure that it’s valid. These are my issues:
The priest uses improper vessels on the altar: a pyrex mixing bowl during the consecration and what looks like iced tea glasses to hold the Most Precious Blood? Seriously?
How about the fact that nobody kneels in reverence during the holiest part of the Mass (when the priest is consecrating the bread and wine in the pyrex). The priest at the 5:30p Mass I attended was going back and forth from the old missal to the current Romal Missal – doing his own thing. These parishioners have no clue here and the formation is obviously null. The dress is way too casual, but hey, what do you expect. It really goes with the territory.
Not coming back here but will pray for this parish and their priests.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us and your parish in Crofton.
