My parents moved to the Plano area in the mid 1970’s & we became part of the 

SEAS family at that time. Our parish has come a long way since celebrating Mass 

in the early days at Haggard Middle School. I am excited for the upcoming 

rebuilding of our church. The plans look amazing!! I can’t wait to see the end 

Results! 

 

As an adult, I went through a divorce & distanced myself from my faith. After 

visiting many nondenominational churches, I realized that there is no place like 

home in our Catholic faith! After much discernment, I made the decision to go 

through the Annulment process. I received support & assistance with this process 

through the Family Life Ministry here at Seton. I got involved with the Rebuilding 

(After Divorce) Ministry, found great healing, & made lifelong friends! I became a 

“revert” & returned to the Lord & our faith with my heart ready to serve & get 

involved. I am so thankful for the many wonderful ministries at Seton and the 

amazing community life. These opportunities have helped me grow in my faith. I 

began a life-long journey that has changed my life. I will be forever grateful! 

Through the years, I have been part of the Women’s Club & their amazing Fall 

Bazaar, Seton Singles Over 40, Living Your Strengths, Seton Service Days, & many 

scripture studies & book talks. I have met many wonderful members of this parish 

that I now call family. Prior to the pandemic, I was active as an Extraordinary 

Minister of Holy Communion, served the Altar, and with great humility, have 

brought the Eucharist to the sick in hospitals and their homes. 

 

My biggest joy, however, has been my participation in the Children’s Ministry. I 

started teaching Faith Formation for Kindergarten in 2008. I was intimidated 

because I don’t have kids of my own & never taught children before! And, I felt 

very far removed from my own faith formation many years ago. But, when the 

Lord calls, He provides! I was blessed with great support from wonderful people 

in the Children’s Ministry department & the materials they provided. And, the 

teacher became the student! I learned more about life, my faith & loving God 

from these littles ones & their families, than I could have ever imagined. My heart 

is full! Another surprising joy came from volunteering in 2008 for Vacation Bible 

School. Now, I can’t get enough of VBS! I look forward to it every single Summer 

now! It is SO MUCH FUN to see the faces of the children light up as they learn about Jesus & the many stories in the Bible. It has encouraged me to open my bible more & go even deeper into my faith. I love seeing the bible stories through 

the eyes of the children! I am forever grateful for my SEAS family & the many 

opportunities for spiritual growth in our parish. I love being Catholic & I love St. 

Elizabeth Ann Seton! I can’t wait to see what our future holds with the new 

building & many opportunities for growth! Let’s GOOOOO! Please let us start!
