The Heavenly Triumph and Our Holy Obligation: A Reflection on All Saints and All Souls

Father Williams Abba

November 1 and 2, the Church invites us into a profound, mystical encounter with the reality of eternal life as we celebrate two interconnected and deeply significant dates on our liturgical calendar: the Solemnity of All Saints on Sunday, November 1, and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day) on Monday, November 2. Together, these days draw back the veil between heaven, purgatory, and earth, reminding us of our ultimate destiny and the unbreakable bonds of love that tie us to those who have gone before us...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR

JUBILEE CAMPAIGN!

Dear Parishioners of St. Elizabeth Seton,

Our Jubilee Year has been filled with prayer, celebrations, and renewal. St. Elizabeth Seton is blessed with wonderful parishioners who have come together as a parish community to support the renovation of our worship space. It is with your support, enthusiasm, gifts and prayers that we are just weeks away from opening wide the doors to our sacred space. But the renewal does not stop when the doors open. Rather, it is the beginning of a new journey that we will be taking together.

Join us MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9 to begin this Journey to Grow Closer to Christ through the Blessed Virgin Mary

St. Louis de Montfort teaches that the consecration of oneself to Jesus through Mary is a complete renewal of baptismal promises, giving oneself entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of the Blessed Virgin. He explains that Mary is the safest, shortest, and most perfect path to Jesus Christ, because God chose to come to us through her (Incarnation), and we likewise go to God through her.

Join us Mondays beginnning November 9 in Dcn. Tone/Library as we embark together on this 33-Day pilgrimage to entrust ourselves to Our Lady. We will be using the book 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley as our guide which offers a weekly video that we will share. Our journey will culminate as we consecrate ourselves to Mary on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saturday, December 12 at 8am Mass. Our consecration will be led by Fr. John Nahrgang, a priest from our Diocese pursuing his Doctorate in Rome with his emphasis on Our Lady of Guadalupe.

By clicking below, you will be registered for the journey. You will also receive the daily readings and short prayers by Flocknote. Books are available in the office for $12.

Do not worry if you are unable to join us in person. While we highly encourage you to be present and share your journey with your parish family, Marian Consecration may be received by anyone who completes the daily readings and reflections as outlined in the book.

Please contact Dcn. Jeff Arner or Michelle Harvey in the office for more information or to be registered.

Do you have a will? As Catholics, we are called to lives of stewardship—and that includes passing on our values and valuables to the next generation. St. Elizabeth Seton is introducing a free will-writing tool, sponsored by the Diocese of Phoenix, so all parishioners can create a will for free and support the people and ministries close to their heart.

Pope Leo XIV has published his first Encyclical: Magnifica Humanaitas: “On Safeguarding the Human person in the time of Artificial Intelligence”

This marked the first time a pope has so comprehensively addressed the topic of artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, it will likely be remembered as a landmark papal teaching for many years to come. Pope Leo is inviting the whole world—people of faith and all people of good will—into a moral discernment about the potential impacts of our rapidly evolving modern technologies.

The Encyclical is available in the parish office for your taking. You are welcome to get one for free, however, we do accept donations.

It’s a wonderful visual as you pray. You don’t need a group of people. Your prayers are needed to ask God to grant us more priest, religious and lay ministers.

Christ Coming in Glory

Join Bishop John Dolan on the Solemnity of All Saints as he reflects on the depiction of Christ coming in glory by local artist Ruth Stricklin, which is displayed at All Saints Catholic Newman Center at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz.

This Sunday’s Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 24) describes the saints as “the people that longs to see Your face.” In Stricklin’s depiction, Christ is surrounded by angels and saints, each of whom is ordered toward God, perfected in love and free from every distraction.

Here on earth, we still long for what they already see. But at every Eucharistic celebration, our voices join theirs in the “Holy, Holy, Holy,” uniting heaven and earth in one song. That moment is our rehearsal for the day when our longing will become seeing, and our restless hearts will rest forever in the same eternal praise.
