The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Holy Name Society was established in 1963 at the inception of the parish. The HNS promotes reverence for the Name of Jesus through word and example. Its members strive to know and love Jesus in and through His Holy Name, while also aiming to abstain from improper language. They pledge to support all lawful authority, both civil and religious.
The HNS gathers for a monthly Sunday Mass, followed by a business meeting where they discuss ways for the Society to be of service to the parish. Their regular activities include: helping with the decoration of the church at Christmas, planning the annual men’s retreat, visiting the homebound parishioners, supporting collections for the food pantry, hosting the annual Communion Breakfast, and coordinating the parish golf outing. They also look for new opportunities to help the parish community and to build fellowship among its members.
All men of the Parish are invited and encouraged to be a part of this ministry.
