From Our Pastor On behalf of all the sons and daughters of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, young and old, on this MOTHER’S DAY I extend a heartfelt thank you to all our mothers for everything that you do, and the love that you share. May God shower you with an abundance of His blessings for all of your tireless efforts to shepherd and guide the lives of the children, grandchildren and all of God's children entrusted to your care!
A big congratulations to our 69 FIRST COMMUNICANTS who received Jesus in this Most Holy and Blessed Sacrament for the first time on Saturday, May 4th. May the excitement and joy that you have experienced continue each and every time you receive Jesus in Holy Communion. I extend a heartfelt thank you to the parents, family members, Mrs. Katlyn Lawler, Mrs. Mylene Garcia, and all our teachers and catechists who have faithfully and tirelessly dedicated themselves to preparing our children for the Blessed Sacremant. May God send you an abundance of His blessings for all of your many efforts!

Your time, dedication, and faithful witness are deeply appreciated and have, once again, this year, deeply inspired so many, including your pastor!

Pray for those Serving our Country
Stewardship
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER “The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” (ACTS 13:52) The disciples heard Our Lord’s call and were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. We, too, can experience that same joy if we make room for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. When we use our gifts in the way that God intends, He fills us with supernatural joy. A joy that others notice and are attracted to.

suffering is a powerful way to pray. 4. Pray with St. Faus na- now known as the “Ambassador of Mercy,” St.
Faus na was remarkably dedicated to praying for priests. 5. Pray with Catholics worldwide- Invisible Monastery is a worldwide community

7. Pray with Pope Francis- "Dear friends, it is not always easy to discern our voca on and to steer our life in the right direc on. For this reason, there needs to be a renewed commitment on the part of the whole Church – priests, religious, pastoral workers and educators – to provide young people in par cular with opportuni es for listening and discernment. There is a need for a youth ministry and a voca onal promo on that can open the way to discovering God’s plan, above all through prayer, medita on on God’s word, Eucharis c adora on and spiritual accompaniment." --Pope Francis, World Day of Prayer for Voca ons, 2019.
