SEAS Parish News
From Fr. Walter Werbicki
No words can express the deep loss I am feeling over the death of Father Dennis. Father Dennis has been priest for more than 40 years. He was a true brother priest to me. He was a humble and faithful servant to the Lord. Let us all thank God for his gift to this parish, and to many others whose life he had touched. Fr. Walter Werbicki
Thank You All Who Assisted at Fr. Dennis’ Services
We would like to thank everyone who assisted with Fr. Dennis’ viewing and Mass of Christian Burial. A special thanks to The Most Reverend Edward Michael Grosz, Auxiliary Bishop of Buffalo and Rev. Joseph Walter, Pastor St. Joseph Church and those who assisted with planning the services.
We especially thank Fr. Walter Werbicki, our Liturgy leaders, Choirs, Ushers, Altar Servers, Greeters, Hispanic Ministry, our Employees, Adult Education/Faith Committee, Parishioners, Trustees and all those who helped at the viewing and the Mass.
Thank you Fr. Walter Werbicki
A special Thank You to Fr. Walter Werbicki who has kept St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish alive spiritually, being here for us, hearing confessions and celebrating Mass daily and weekends. Fr. Walter recently celebrated his 90th Birthday, we offer our prayers and God’s blessings for continued good health and strength.
Rosary for Peace
We invite you to join us this Thursday, February 20th at 5:30 p.m. for a rosary and litany here in the church. The intention will be a Rosary for Peace. Invite your friends and family. Our young people need to be exposed to the powerful prayer of the rosary. All over the world those that follow Christ are being persecuted. Here at home “Christian” is becoming a non-welcome word. More than ever we need to pray for peace in our streets and cities, for those who fight to be faithful and that all will be restored in Christ. This evening prayer service is held each third Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
Note From The Office
We apologize we are having some kind of a problem with the company that has been doing our Stewardship envelopes. We have had a lot of them coming back to the Church office, we don’t know why because we keep updating and stopping those that do not need them. Please check in back of the Church to see if your envelopes may be in it. If any change is needed for anything please contact the office.
Thank You Linda
