Parent - Student Announce

New Logo

Greetings!

We are all saddened by the events that have occurred in Baltimore this past week, and we realize the incredible pain that is touching many lives.  At Seton, we reaffirm our respect for all life and the dignity of all life. We pray for our sister city of Baltimore and for our country that we will discover the strength we all need to be better at living well the gifts God has given us.
Our Campus Ministry held lunch time prayer for the needs of all people, and we are continuing to discern ways we can profoundly support what we believe.

Thank you,
Sister Ellen Marie
