"(Therefore) Pray for one another...The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." James 5:16

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton has several ways in which we support each other in special personal prayer. The way most familiar to many occur during Mass.

Mass intentions in which a Mass is dedicated to the intentions of the petitioner. These can be for the support of the sick, repose of the soul of a loved one, for thanksgiving, or for special intentions. They are mentioned during the Mass and in the Sunday bulletin.

During the Mass in the Prayers of the Faithful, family members may request to have an individual remembered in the Prayers for the Sick or for the Repose of the Soul of a loved one.

We also have an email Prayer Chain of individuals who have agreed to pray for the needs of others in our community and the world.

Each Mass at Seton is said in the honor of a loved one. It may be in the memory of the anniversary of their death, for the repose of their soul, for special healing, or in thanksgiving for prayers answered.  Please call or e-mail the staff contact listed above to request a Mass intention. We will be glad to assist you in picking a date to honor them in prayer.

The other way we pray for each other at Mass is during the Prayer of the Faithful. A family member may ask for their loved one's name to be added to the "Prayers for the Sick," asking for God's healing grace. In the event of a death, the deceased may be mentioned in the "Prayers for the Repose of the Souls" and mentioned again in those prayers at the anniversary of their death.

Please submit all prayer requests by phone or e-mail to the staff contact listed by noon on Friday for the weekend Masses.  When submitting your request, please provide a phonetic spelling for the name submitted to insure correct pronunciation by the Deacon or lector reading the intentions.
