We no longer have a 7:00 PM Mass on Monday; it has been
moved to 6:00 PM to accommodate other special programs that
will start at 7:00 PM. It is our custom to pray the Holy Rosary
prior to Mass. This will continue to be observed but it will be
augmented by Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament and
praying the Holy Rosary for Peace beginning at 5:30 PM. This
new time and practice will beginning on October the 10th.
The schedule will be:
5:30 PM: Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
5:35 PM: Pray the Holy Rosary for Peace.
5:55 PM Reposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
6:00 PM: Mass begins.
Please join us for the Rosary for Peace and the Sacrifice of the Mass.
Each of us has been given particular gifts and talents. It takes all of us, doing what we are
able, to bring God’s compassion and love to the world.
This Week:
Reflect on your unique gifts and talents. In what way can you use them to witness to Christ’s
mercy by reaching out to a special person in your life.
The Year of Mercy: Gifted and Sent
Mass on Monday at 6:00 PM
Words from
Father Norm
Father Riwa Kenyan Orphans
In April of 2016, SEAS Men's Fellowship sponsored a fundraising breakfast for the Friends of Kenyan Orphans.
Because of our parishes generous support, we raised enough funds to sponsor five girls for a year. The
sponsorship includes food, lodging, schooling and more. As Men’s Fellowship has shared about this endeavor,
most of the girls will be alive within the year because of this safe haven.
The girls we have sponsored for the coming year are: Dallena (12), Faith (11), Josphine (5), Winny (11), and
Teresia (11).
The brief history, photo and biography of each girl is located on the bulletin board in the social hall. A common
thread with each girl is that they come from very poor families, if they have a family. They are orphaned or
neglected and have found refuge with Father Riwa and the St. Clare Girls community.
Please visit and get to know the girls that our parish have sponsored in 2016-17.
Again, thank you, SEAS Catholic Community, for your support.

Parish Faith Formation
What’s Happening in Religious Education
Our open ing n ight on
Wednesday was hectic, exciting,
and rewarding, just like every
other year. Next week, October 12th, there will be a
parent meeting during each of the Sessions for all
parents. After you escort your student to their
classroom, please join us in the Parish Hall for
information about this year’s programming.
Question of the Week for Youth
In today's Gospel, we hear about a person
who was given a great gift by Jesus and was
praised for his response. Why do we say
thank you? What purpose does it serve?
What is the consequence if we do not say
thank you?

Youth Ministry is Coming Back!
Are you a high school student wondering what we have
to offer you? Join us on Sunday, October 23rd at
6:00 pm and see what we’re all about.
Every other Sunday night from 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm our
high school teens are invited to join us in the parish
hall for fun, fellowship and food. On these nights we
will ‘gather’ as we get to know one another, share a
meal, worship together and learn a little bit more
about our faith. Each night will have a main topic or
‘theme’ which will be our focus for the evening in small
and large groups.

on answering those questions. Join us on the fourth Monday
of each month and add some leaven to your faith.
Let’s see how much more extraordinary you can be.

Our Parish Women’s Fellowship Afternoon of Honor
Please join the Women’s
Fellowship on Sunday,
October 23rd at 3:00 PM to
honor two wonderful women
of our parish: Jane Hime and
Betty Rizzo. These special
ladies have volunteered
countless hours and in
countless ways over the
years to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Please join us in
thanking and celebrating them over tea and other
refreshments, as well as finger foods. A sign up sheet
is available in the Parish Hall.
World Mission Sunday
What is World Mission
Sunday? It’s a Sunday to
be merciful to the whole
world. “Mercy changes
the World” - and through
our prayers and financial
support on World
Mission Sunday, you too
can be merciful to those
most in need.
Envelopes for World Mission Sunday contributions are
available in the Parish Hall. Please use these
envelopes, or indicate on the memo line of your check
“Mission Sunday” if you wish to contribute.
Thank you!
Tai Chi Has Begun
It’s that time of year again! Tai Chi has started up
again here at SEAS in the Parish Hall on Monday
morning’s beginning at 10:30 AM.
What is Tai Chi, you ask? It is a moving meditation
and fitness regimen that was developed to promote the
flow of chi, or energy within your body. Through slow
flowing movements, Tai Chi increases strength and
muscle tone, and enhances your range of motion and
flexibility. It also improves balance and coordination.
Tai chi offers a variety of quality of life benefits, such
as improved cognitive ability, decreased levels of
anxiety, depression, stress and muscular tension. It
improves your circulation, speed of rehabilitation
following surgery, injury or serious illness, and
enhanced energy combined with an overall sense of
wellbeing.
It is recommended by the National Institute of Health
because they found that seniors that took Tai Chi fell
47% less than those who did not. When done wisely, it
does no damage to the body and can help it keep
working for as long as you need it.
The free classes are now taking place. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call Lynn Pfannes at (248)
524-1951.

Catholic Life
The Nuns of the Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament
have initiated a twenty-four hour prayer line. Even if
the call goes to voice mail, the Sisters are attentive to
begin the requested prayers promptly. The prayer line
number is: (248) 626-8253. For more information,
contact via email at [email protected].
Blessed Sacrament Prayer Line
Manresa Day of Recollection
The South Oakland Council of Catholic Women will
have their annual Day of Recollection at Manresa on
October 20th, from 9:30 AM-3:00 PM. Father Peter
Fennessy S.J will be the speaker. There will be time
for meditation, Rosary and confession. Tickets are
$25.00, including lunch. Please reply before October
16th to Marge Caram at (248) 544-2660.
St. Vincent de Paul Used Bicycle Donation
Please donate your used bicycles to the St. Vincent de
Paul Bike Drive, taking place the weekend of October
15th and 16th, during Mass times (Saturday at 5:30
PM, Sundays at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30 AM) at the
northwest corner of the St. Thomas More Church
grounds.
These bicycles provide the most basic transportation
for people who have no other means of getting around,
other than walking. The working poor, unemployed
and homeless will use the bicycles to get to work, job
interviews, and get food. The St. Thomas More SVdP
has done this for the past 3 years, yet the need
continues in Pontiac.
Be a blessing to someone who needs basic
transportation – even bikes in tough condition can help
those in need. Thank you, and God bless you!
CSA: Evangelization
The Evangelization Office is offering pastors and staff
hospitality training, so they are prepared to receive
others in the name of Jesus Christ, and to share Christ
with those who walk in the doors of their parishes.
Your CSA gifts are helping to fund this training
through the Catholic Hospitality Training Institute,
which is being offered at St. Anastasia Parish, Troy, on
Tuesday, October 11th.
The training consists of four main sessions focusing on
developing attitudes and behaviors for compassionate,
Christ-like, and powerful service. Each session will
conclude with participants choosing ideas and
practices to act on once they return to their parishes.
There will also be time for participants to practice the
techniques they learn as well as to reflect, share, and
network.
For more information about CSA-funded ministries,
programs, and services, please go to www.AOD.org.

Respect Life will be holding an on-going Baby Shower to benefit Abigayle
Ministries, a local crisis pregnancy center. It is not enough that we pray to end
abortion, and ask our legislators to pass laws to end abortion. We must help
women who are pregnant and scared and believe that they have no other option.
Donations of new or gently used baby clothing can be placed in the crib in the
parish hall. Baby food, formula, diapers and other baby necessities are also welcome. Unfortunately, we cannot
accept stuffed animal toys. Thank you in advance for your generous support.
Respect Life Committee
Please note…
Mass intentions should be arranged two
weeks in advance to appear in the bulletin.
Requests for names to be mentioned during
the Prayers of the Faithful or for the bulletin
prayer list should be provided by a member
of the family.
The Prayer List is updated monthly. If we do
not hear from you to keep your person on, we
will take him/her off the list. You can always
call to put him/her back on.
