TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME August 23, 2020
PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Together, we, the family of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, proclaim our Christianity and our call to live Christ’s message. We acknowledge the centrality of Jesus in our lives, as individuals and as a community, particularly in our encounters with others.
Our mission is to deepen our understanding and love of the Gospel through prayer and worship; to recognize Christ in our daily lives through sharing and loving, healing and serving His community; and to proclaim the Word of God with the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Being a registered member of our Parish means that you have filled out a registration form and returned it to our Parish Office. The form is on our SEAS website. Simply fill out your particulars.
Registration is very important and helps us plan for and fill the needs of our parish community. This is our basis to complete our Parish Data System. It is our reference for the sacraments that your family will receive and the mailings to update your involve-ment at SEAS. With your membership, you will have the opportunity to donate online through our SEAS website, www.seasirvine.org or receive the offering envelopes on a bi-monthly basis. This will make it possible to provide you with a statement of your year’s donations, should you request it for tax purposes. Also, if you have moved or have a new family member, please notify the Parish so that we can update your registration. Thank you.
SPECIAL COLLECTION Weekend of Missionary Co-op Plan Today is the Missionary Co-op Plan second collection - a day we can remember that we stand in solidarity with Catholic brothers and sisters around the world - a day to share in the mission of God around the world! Your generosity supports the work of priests, religious and lay leaders originally scheduled to come to parishes in the Diocese of Orange for the Summer Co-op Appeal who share our faith with those most in need. Pray for and give to those living as missionary disciples and serving the poor during the COVID-19 crisis in other parts of the world. To give online: www.rcbo.org/missioncoop

ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ORANGE
BE VIGILANT AGAINST IMPERSONATORS
Here are some points to remember:The priests and staff members of the parish will never ask you for money or gift cards for any cause that is also not published in the bulletin.
Be careful of fake social media profiles that will pretend to be a staff member and, eventually through direct message, ask you for donations. If the profile only has a couple of followers that can be an indication that it is fake. Feel free to call the parish to verify the priest or staff member who sent you a friend request or wishes to follow you.
Be aware of emails that come from priests/staff members that are not from the parish domain name.

READINGS FOR THE WEEK
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION "Could you not watch one hour with Me?” -Mt.26-40
You are invited to grow in faith and love of our Lord in a silent Eucharistic Adoration every Tuesday, after the 8:30am mass, from 9-12noon. Benediction and reposition of the Blessed Sacrament will be led by Father Paul Trinh.
Eucharistic Adoration is a time when one can come face-to face with Jesus, the Lord of all creation. Jesus looks at us and we look at Him fully present in the Blessed Sacrament. It is an opportunity for us to take time out of our busy lives to come and rest in the Lord!
If you would like to sign up for an hour of Adoration, you may email Rosanna Caguioa: [email protected]

SEAS EMPLOYMENT MINISTRY RESUMES WITH VIRTUAL MEETINGS

Our initial meeting will be on Monday, August 31, at 11:30 am, via Zoom. We will meet every other week at that same time.

SEAS MUSIC MINISTRY “I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my
God as long as I live” (Psalm 104:33) With all the challenges surrounding us we find that music, faith, and a supportive community are so important to everyone and especially children. Seas Cantate Children Choir has sure been able to continue singing and praising our Lord!How? Since March 2020 our Cantate Choir kept singing via virtual rehearsals. Starting in the fall, the choir will meet every other week via zoom where the group learns together about music (reading, singing and more), sharing prayers and staying connected. Following that, each singer gets a private coaching virtually on the assigned hymns. Together with the help of the parents and the church office we provide virtual choir videos that have been uplifting to many people. It is a team effort and beautiful to witness. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to stay connected. One day they will look back and smile knowing that through their faith, their gifted voices from God and music, they were able to help many during one of the most isolated times of our lives.
No previous experience is required. All children ages 7 yrs-12 yrs are invited. Video invitation from Ms. Saousan
