Archbishop Hebda's Latest Update

Archbishop Bernard Hebda thanks Catholics for their faithfulness during the pandemic and for continuing to wear masks, social distance and do all they can to minimize the spread of COVID-19. The Archbishop also announces that he has asked parishes to pause or move to the virtual realm, all non-essential gatherings, meetings and events between now and Christmas. Watch the video HERE.

What Does That Change at SEAS?

This will change a few things temporarily, but it's all in the interest of safety and minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Find the list of what's changing and staying the same HERE.

FORMED for the Week of November 29

Find them HERE!

Yes, Christmas will look different this year, but SEAS will celebrate the birth of our Lord at five Masses (two of which will be live streamed on our website at seasparish.org/live and on Facebook.)

Proper social distancing measures have led us to make a significant change with regard to attendance. This year, you will have to sign up for Mass. We are doing this to ensure seating at a proper distance for all who plan to attend. Seating will be available in the church and Seton Hall.

How do I sign up for the Mass I want?

Beginning Monday, November 30, go online to seasparish.org/christmas where you’ll find the sign-up link. Once you sign up for a Mass and location, you’ll be emailed a confirmation. When you get to Mass, the porters will have a list of everyone who registered and you will be seated in your chosen area.

If you’d rather stop in or call the office at 651-437-4254 to sign up, please do. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Scripture and Inspiration

Think deeper when you click here!

May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.

What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’”

There's Always Something to Be Grateful For

Before we gather around the table this year, gobbling up turkey and a slice of pumpkin pie, let’s be intentional about giving thanks no matter what.
