St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is a young, vibrant parish with a pioneering spirit attributable in part to St Elizabeth Ann Seton. It's the members of St.

We strive to bring everyone into a relationship with Jesus Christ as His disciple. A disciple prays, learns, shares and witnesses. In 1989, the Archdiocese of Dubuque purchased ten acres in Hiawatha to establish a new Catholic parish to serve the needs of a growing population in the northeast side of Cedar Rapids. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish first began worshipping in temporary spaces. In 1992, Pha

se One of our permanent building was started. It included an upper hall to serve as a transitional church and a lower hall for meeting and classroom space, as well as a social hall. The second building phase began in 1999 and it added office space and a multi-purpose classroom area in the lower level. The latest phase of construction began in 2008 and was dedicated on Sunday, June 13, 2010. It includes:

-A church that can seat up to 1,150 people, with initial pews and chairs currently seating 840,
-A windowed walk connecting the church to the original building,
-A new nursery adjacent to the worship space,
-Eucharistic Reservation Chapel,
-Reconciliation Chapel,
-A serving kitchen for the upper hall in the original building,
-Renovations to the existing building for a Formation Center, as well as Youth Ministry. Elizabeth Ann Seton is a young, vibrant parish with a pioneering spirit attributable in part to its role as the only Catholic parish in Hiawatha. Elizabeth Ann Seton that makes us Church, rather than any actual structure; however, our new church allows us to best fulfill our mission of hospitality, education and acts of charity. Currently our parish is made up of over 1,450 households. We look forward to increased membership to enable us to further help those within our community and beyond.

What do we owe each other. Not silence when someone we love is headed for harm, and not condemnation either. Ezekiel hears God call him a watchman, someone responsible for speaking truth even when it's uncomfortable, because staying quiet can cost a life. Paul tells the Romans the debt we owe one another is love, and that love is not soft, it is the whole law fulfilled in one command.

Then Jesus gives us the hardest part: how to correct someone we love without destroying them. Go to them first, privately. If that doesn't work, bring a witness. Correction in the Gospel is never about winning an argument. It's about winning back a brother or sister.

And in the middle of all of it, a promise. Where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there. Not somewhere behind the difficulty of loving each other well, but right in the middle of it.

🕊️ All are welcome to join us in person or online.

🙏 Mass Times:
Saturday 5:00 PM
Sunday 8:30 AM (livestream) & 11:30 AM

Each time we walk into church and make the sign of the cross with holy water, we're reminded of who we belong to. 💧✝️

Fr. Jim Brockman reflects on this beautiful gesture and how it connects to a wonderful occasion celebrated that day: the baptism of Walker Lewis. In witnessing his baptism, the whole parish is invited to call to mind our own, renewing the vows made on the day we were baptized and entrusting our lives once more to God.

When was the last time you paused to remember the meaning behind your own baptism?

Mother Teresa reminds us not to look for big things but to do small things with great love. In little acts of kindness we meet Christ in the poor.

"Lord, anything but that." 😅

Sound familiar? Fr. Jim Brockman points to St. Peter's very human reaction when Jesus tells the disciples He must suffer and die. Peter is thinking of what he wants, not what Jesus came to do. It's a temptation we all face: focusing on ourselves instead of trusting God's plan, especially when it's hard.

Where do you find yourself saying "anything but that" to God?

September 15 - October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. And the Catholic Church in the United States has a lot to celebrate when it comes to our Hispanic community! About 36% of Catholics in the U.S. are Hispanic, a number that rises to a whopping 60% when we consider Catholics under the age of 18!
⁣
Here at St. EAS Parish, we are grateful for the contributions and presence of all of our parishioners with roots in the Spanish-speaking world, and we encourage you to start making plans to celebrate today!
