St Elizabeth Seton

One of the challenges with moving to a new town is finding a place to go to church. Sometimes it can be very intimidating walking into a new place, especially a church. People usually have known each other for a long time, and just the very act of praying with other people can be very intimate. I’ve been attending St. Elizabeth Seton for about six months now. I have found, in general, the people there to be warm, welcoming, and friendly. There seems to be a lot of various outreach and ministries to become involved with, and also there is a chapel for perpetual adoration (this speaks highly to the dedication of a parish… perpetual adoration is a lot of work/​effort). The priests are also very approachable and friendly. If you are Catholic and/​or new to the area like me, this might be a good fit for you. Also, a big draw for me in the beginning… there are coffee and donuts served after the Sunday morning masses and it seems like there are pancake and sausage breakfasts and soup suppers at least once a month or so. I do wish that there was a Sunday evening mass for slackers like me that like to sleep in.
