As Pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish, I am delighted to welcome you to the St. Elizabeth Seton Parish Web Site. God’s amazing gift of technology has made it possible for us to communicate instantly through this wonderful instrument. I hope that you are as excited as I am about the enormous potential this provides as it assists us in fulfilling our Parish Mission Statement.

St. Elizabeth Seton Parish is a Roman Catholic community in Sun City, AZ. within the Diocese of Phoenix. Our parish family of 2550 households is friendly, generous, caring and alive in the Spirit of God. Our parishioners love God dearly and their parish family compassionately. There are many opportunities to develop and enrich your faith and your relationship with God in the midst of the Church through the celebration of the Liturgy of the Holy Eucharist and through the many ministries offered at St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. You are most welcome to visit us.

If you are a non-practicing Catholic for whatever reason and have not been nourished by Jesus in the Holy Eucharist in some time, I personally take this opportunity to invite you “home”. We will do all that we can to help you rediscover, appreciate and renew your Catholic identity. If you are a non-Catholic and happen to be reading this letter, please be aware that you are most welcome to participate in some of the many programs, which our parish offers. Should you have any questions or concerns about our Catholic Church please do not hesitate to contact us. We treasure your interest and involvement as a member of our parish family whether as an active member or one who is discerning their relationship with God in the midst of the Church. We are always open to new ideas, which will help us serve each other more effectively.

To all of you and to your families near and far, we wish God’s peace and love.

In the Peace and Love of Christ,
Rev. Franklin L. Bartel
Pastor
