Dear parishioners of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton,
Anytime a parish embarks upon a capital campaign, it must come from a place of trust. We trust that God will provide. Why are we able to trust? We can trust because we have experienced God’s goodness throughout our lives. As a parish and school, we have been blessed in so many ways. So why is it necessary to do a
capital campaign now? St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is our spiritual home. Just like you have experienced in your homes, there is a need for improvements, repairs and maintenance. Our church and school building have served us well for many years but now they are in need of our investment.
Our “Paths Forward In Faith” capital campaign is an important step for us as we continue the mission given to us by Jesus Christ. There is no doubt that our faith is at the center of everything we do as a parish and school. Our faith is in Jesus Christ alone. The renovation of our sanctuary will allow our worship space to become a place where the whole environment will reflect the heavenly nature of the Mass. We want all people, no matter how young or old, to know that when they walk into our church, they will know that God lives there. Our church, with its beauty and dignity, will reflect that the most important thing we do each week is our worship of God.
In addition, our capital campaign will literally give us a new path into our church as we resurface the parking lot. It is a necessary investment as we maintain all of the physical needs of our buildings and campus. We also have leaking pipes and a boiler that is over 60 years old in our school. Installing a new heating and air
conditioning system will allow our children to move forward in their path of growing in mind, body, and soul.
This campaign will also allow us to update the sound and lighting in our church. With new technology in both of these areas, especially in the area of sound, we will address the acoustical issues in our church. A few other projects to be addressed with this campaign are new carpeting and paint in Mother Seton Hall and the purchase of an additional boiler for the church.
While we each may have our own favorite project, this capital campaign is designed to address all these needs so we can move forward together. The goal of this campaign is three million dollars.

Please join me in this great endeavor as we continue our mission here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton to form joyful disciples who make Jesus Christ known and loved.
Yours in Christ,
Father Dave Hennen
