St. Elizabeth Catholic Church

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 30, 2025

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings,

Please mark your calendars for our annual Homecoming celebration on November 23rd!  St. Elizabeth Catholic Church is a parish with much history and we invite former parishioners and students of the St. Elizabeth Catholic School that closed in 1982 to join us for Mass and a reception after both the 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. Masses.  I welcome you to invite any friends and family who were members of the Parish or attended the former school to join us for Mass and the reception.  After the 10 a.m. Mass that Sunday we will hold the drawing for the Annual Raffle!  There are four weeks left to purchase your tickets so visit the front of the Church after Mass any Sunday until Homecoming to get your tickets.

We will need volunteers to assist with the set-up, cleanup and serving of food during the receptions.  If you are interested in helping, please let Eva in the Parish Office know:  evabalkarli@stelizcc.org 

The Funeral Mass for our Brother in Christ, Burton Robinson, will be on October 31st at 12 p.m.  Because of this, there will not be a weekday Mass on Friday, but all are invited to the Funeral Mass.

By decision of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and confirmed by the Holy See, whenever the Solemnities of Mary, Mother of God (January 1), the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15) or All Saints (November 1) fall on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligastion to attend Mass is lifted.  This year, All Saints Day is on a Sunday so there will not be a Mass on November 1st.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
