St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
NOTES FROM FR. ROGER MENSAJES DE PADRE
ROGER
Join together with families from
around the world in prayer. Pray the
Family prayer each day with your
family for the blessing of God and for
your family’s personal intentions.
God and Father of us all, In Jesus, your Son and our Savior,
you have made us your sons and daughters
in the family of the Church. May your grace and love
help our families in every part of the world be united to one another in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family,
with the aid of your Holy Spirit, guide all families, especially those most troubled,
to be homes of communion and prayer and to always seek your truth and live in your love.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us!
TIME TO GET TUNEFUL AGAIN!
Choir practices for the parish choir start on Tuesday, September 27th at 7:30 pm in the church.
We have had several choir members leave (age, health, relocation to other states), so we are very much in need of all voices (SATB). Instrumentalists are also encouraged (it would be SO cool to have full brass for Christmas!!!) NO auditions! If God sends you, we will work with you. Questions? Call Music Director Pat at 302-229-9454.

FREE PUBLIC LECTURE ON ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI Fr. Augustine Thompson, O.P., Professor of History at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology and member of the Core Doctoral Faculty of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley California will give a free public lecture titled, “Saint Francis of Assisi: the 100-year search for the man behind the legends,” on Monday, Sept. 26, 7:30-8:30 p.m., followed by Q&A, in Purnell Hall, Room 115 on the University of Delaware campus in Newark, DE.
