iGiveCatholic is our Giving Tuesday fundraiser each year. Giving Tuesday is a nationwide day of giving and falls the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish joins with Seton Catholic School in this fundraising event to raise money for much needed projects important to the Seton Community.
Join us to raise $30,000 this year to address the following improvements to our campus.
1) Church Livestream: We want to bring back live streaming of masses! Through these efforts we will be obtaining all the technology needed to automatically live stream mass each Sunday. This will include two cameras, a computer with the proper graphics card and installation. With this live stream capability, we look forward to being able to stream additional parish and school events.
2) Staff Technology: Our parish staff work on computers that are between 9 and 13 years old. We will be replacing our outdated computers to help out our staff.
3) Church Carpet: Our church carpet has lots of wear and tear and unfortunately is fraying in spots. In order to keep our parishioners safe, we will replace the flooring around the baptismal font and down the aisle.
Any money raised above our goal of $30,000 or above the actual cost of these projects will go directly to our parish debt. Our debt was incurred with the building of the school and has a balance of $1,592,376 as of October 31, 2022. We have a balloon payment due in 2.5 years so we hope to make some progress on paying down this principal.
Our past successful campaigns include:
2021- Upgrade the church sound system, renovate the rectory kitchen that was not up to fire code and replace/repair all parking lot lights.
2020- Repair rectory water and sewer lines that burst, upgrade fire panels to cellular due to the new Diocesan phone system and upgrades to the school electrical system.
2019- Renovation of the parish hall.Check in each October as we announce our new campaign.
Early fundraising efforts begin mid November to gear us up for our big day the end of November. We hope you will plan now to help support these fundraising efforts. If you have any questions, please contact Deanna Prisinzano, Business Manager, at [email protected] or by calling 859-273-1318 x1574.
