SEAS NEWS April, 2015 St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church 2200 West Republic Road Springfield, MO 65807 417. 887. 6472 www.seaschurch.org From the Pastor... Dear Parishioners, Christ is risen, Alleluia! Established 1981 St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, a Roman Catholic Christian community, strives to be a dynamic, welcoming center of faith, where life-long friendships begin and grow. Our mission is: To provide opportunity for worship, ministry and proclaiming the Gospel. To provide education and support for the spiritual growth of every parish member. To build a local community of faith that fosters life, justice and peace in the global society. Looking Forward April 5 EASTER SUNDAY April 12 Divine Mercy Sunday April 25 Celebration of First Communion for 2nd Graders April 26 World Day of Prayer for Vocations Graduation Mass/ Luncheon for High School Seniors The month of April begins with the Easter experience the experience of new life, new beginnings, new hope. It’s a perfect time for each of us to put into effect all of our Lenten pledges to renew our spiritual life. It’s a perfect time for example, to recommit ourselves to attendance at Sunday Mass, to making the Sacrament of Penance a more constant reality and making prayer-meditation a daily commitment in our lives. Because Easter is the most important feast in the Christian calendar-even more important than Christmas-the Easter season continues for fifty days through the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost, ending on Trinity Sunday, the Sunday after Pentecost. The Paschal Candle remains in the sanctuary to remind us of God’s presence and power in our lives as we hear the marvelous Easter message proclaimed week after week. So, keep on celebrating and wishing everyone “Happy Easter.” On April 25th, eighty of our children will receive their first Holy Communion. We Catholics are a Eucharistic community. The Eucharist is the central sacrament of our faith life. First communion is another step in initiation for the youngest members of our parish family to join us at the table of the Lord. Let us all congratulate these children and their families as they begin being nourished by the sacred food that is Jesus himself. Let it also be a time for each of us to renew our devotion to the Holy Eucharist and a time for us to make a renewed commitment to regular attendance at Sunday Mass. April 15, Tax Day—gives us the opportunity to be grateful for the gift of living in America with the responsibilities that it brings! It can also be a reminder to think about our stewardship to the church. April 22 is Earth Day—all are called upon to promote environmental awareness and reflect upon the gift of God’s creation and the need to protect our planet. May God bless each of you and your family during this beautiful Easter season and may the Risen Lord bring peace, joy and love to each of your hearts. 1 ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES...

Absent: David Strauss, Jeff Werner, Dan Lohkamp, Melinda Lohkamp, Lon McLauchlin, Mike Sisney, SEAS Prayer & Mission Statement were spoken and meeting was opened with a prayer led by Gary Grove. Living the Word Question of the Week was discussed. Review and Approval of January 2015 meeting minutes was completed. Unfinished Business: Language on volunteer forms – that they must be 18 or have guardian’s consent. Father Reidy will look into this. Increasing Volunteerism within parishioners – They need to be asked in person and for a specific task and possess specific skills for that task. Staff will look at making a list of areas and activities where they are needed. Hope to fit this in with the Rule of One for volunteering. Still looking into security concerns. Building issues – Father Reidy is looking into this but was not present to give update. New business: Council of Churches Board meeting report – Discussed identity of Council of Churches and how it offers/helps with so many social programs within the area and what a big part the Catholic community has in those programs. There is a lot of sharing between churches. Status on newly formed Volunteer Committee – They are working on outline of committee and what they hope to accomplish. Will try to put together a notebook of all annual, monthly, and eventually weekly and daily activities at the church. What is needed for each of those and what volunteers will need to know in order to help in these areas. New Parish Council Members are being recruited at this time – If there are interested parties please get those names to Father Reidy by the April board meeting. SEAS electronic media presence – We do not have much of one at this time but would like to see more done with website, Facebook, tweets, YouTube, etc. Several groups within the parish have their own Facebook and also put items on the SEAS webpage but we could still do a better job of informing people of activities and events that they might want to help with or participate in. Closed with Prayer by Greg Bolda Next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2015 Opening Prayer: Mary Alice Krueger Closing Prayer: Paul Boeckman COMMITTEE REPORTS:: SEAS Youth Ministry CREED- Catholic Reaching Each other Every Day- High School Youth Group Fish Fry- March 13th - Our Fish Fry for the year was a huge success. All profits from this fund-raising event will be used to pay expenses to the Diocesan Youth Conferences in a few weeks. Thank you to all who helped support the youth of our parish. We couldn’t do this without your support! West Plains/Diocesan Youth Conference - The weekend of March 27th-29th, 6 Youth and 3 adults attended this year's Diocesan Youth Conference. The theme of the conference was “Because He is….King of Kings!” featuring Keynote speaker Cooper Ray. This is the largest single event in the diocese, allowing young people to gather, learn, and grow in their faith. Our parish's involvement and attendance supports the Office of Youth Ministry, and affirms the efforts of this year's planning team, comprised of youth and adults from Sacred Heart in Webb City. Continue to pray for the Youth of our Parish. Steubenville - on the campus of MSU July 17th-19th - Deadline for fees and registration forms are April 19th. The cost is $190, deposit of $50 due in to me by May 1st. The $190 registration fee covers conference fee, food, housing and handling expenses. Space is limited and interest is high. Out of the 46 registration openings reserved I have 20 spots still open…spread the word if you know of any youth who will be going into the 9 th grade and up to age of 21. Nationally known teen speakers plan their talks around the theme of the weekend, "LIMITLESS." Each session is a chance to see how these young adults live out their faith in their lives and for the youth to receive the challenge to live out their own faith every day. Also, during the weekend, Mass, prayer and reconciliation is made a priority. My hope and prayer is 10 that these youth will leave this conference with a deeper relationship with Jesus and with his or her Catholic faith.

MUSIC MINISTRY We have two rehearsals remaining to put the finishing touches on the music for Holy Week and Easter. That is our entire focus at this time. We missed one rehearsal due to weather, so we're a little behind where I would like to be. But I'm confident that our liturgies will be prayerful and beautiful, as always. 11 We are grateful to those who made a contribution toward the flowers and decorations for this Easter season.
