National Pilgrim Virgin Statue Tour Coming to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is blessed to host a tour of the statue from September 8 through September 28, 2017.  St. Elizabeth Ann Seton will host the statue on Tuesday, September 26th. The National Pilgrim Virgin Statue is a beautiful hand-carved image of Our Lady of Fatima given to the United States by the bishop of Fatima after being blessed by Pope Paul VI in 1967. The statue has proven time and again to be the catalyst for renewed interest in the message of Fatima and for exposing new generations of Catholics, who are unaware of the important message of conversion and peace brought by Our Lady to the three shepherd children in 1917 at Fatima, Portugal.  The Statue will be available for veneration all day on Tuesday, September 26th, with the following activities occurring throughout the day:

8:00am   Unveiling of the Statue

9:00am   Crowning of Mary before the school Mass. 

                 Immediately following Mass there will be a 15 minute presentation given to the students on the statue.

3:00pm   Rosary

6:30pm   Thirty-minute presentation given for the parish community on the statue.

8:00pm    Veneration of the statue of Mary closes.

Heaven Starts Now: Becoming a Saint Day by Day

Michigan pastor Fr. John Riccardo helps us dive into the Scriptures so that we can apply them to our daily lives in this book.   In his inspiring and incisive way, Fr. Riccardo addresses the obstacles we all face in becoming mature disciples. How do we learn to forgive? How do we combat fear and understand suffering? How do we worship the Lord, love others as Christ loves us, and fully surrender our lives to God?  You may have enjoyed Fr. Riccardo's gifts of teaching and preaching through his broadcasts and podcasts on Catholic Radio.   The book can be purchased at the first class, held in the Wenzel Room, or you can buy it for your kindle.  Cost: $15 for paperback.

A Novena for St. Andrew / St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish School

O Good and Gracious God,

We praise and thank you for the students in our parish school. It is a sacred privilege to continue the teaching mission of your son, Jesus. We hear his words in our hearts: “Let the children come to me! Do not hinder them.” Please listen to our prayers as we ask you, Lord, to remove whatever hinders parents from choosing our Catholic school for their children. Guide their thinking and their decisions. May parents see the great benefits of a Catholic education that can last a lifetime. Bless our efforts. Help us be a school for all. Lord we hold in prayer all the students you will send to our school. Thank you Lord for blessing us with a future filled with promise and hope. We ask this through the intercession of Mary our Blessed Mother, St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Amen.

Prayer by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Lord Jesus, Who was born for us in a stable, lived for us a life of pain and sorrow, and died for us upon a cross; say for us in the hour of death, Father, forgive, and to Your Mother, Behold your child. Say to us:  “This day you shall be with Me in paradise.”  Dear Savior, leave us not, forsake us not. We thirst for You, Fountain of Living Water. Our days pass quickly along, soon all will be consummated for us.  To Your hands we commend our spirits, now and forever.  Amen.

If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to talk, call Patty Norris at 575 - 0119 or email her at pknorris@cinci.rr.com. You can also call Fr. Michael Cordier at 575-0119.
