Social Concerns Committee

The H.O.S.T Society (Helping Others Strenthen Themselves) sponsors the Christmas Help Program for needy families with requests for clothing and toys for their children and host a Community Yard Sale twice a year to raise funds to cover sponsored projects.

Our Parish also belongs to Ministries United for South Central Louisville (affectionately known as M.U.S.C.L.). This group interviews persons who are asking for aid. Working with other ministries, St Elizabeth Ann Seton tries to make a difference in our community with events like the "Day of Dignity." These proceeds are used to help the community programs of M.U.S.C.L.. Those needing assistance can call MUSCL at (502) 363-9087.

Provides parishioners in need or needy families in our zip code area (40229) with Christmas gifts and food.

St Elizabeth Ann Seton belongs to the Okolona Ministerial Association with several area Churches. One of the efforts of this group has been to coordinate aid to people in need. Area Churches, including ours, donate food items to the Food Pantry located at Okolona Baptist Church. All parishioners are asked to try to make donations of food items. Items can be brought to Church any time.

Blood drives, when scheduled, are held in the Seton Center Gym. Volunteers from the parish work the check-in desk and catina.

Every fall our Parish participates in the Baby Bottle Boomerang to benefit the Little Way Pregnancy Resource Center. Parishioners take a baby bottle and return several weeks later with their donation.

Just a reminder, you do not have to be a parishioner to help the Parish take advantage of these programs. If you have a Kroger Plus Card and sign up for the Kroger Community Rewards program and select our code number (10066), our Parish will get credit for the purchase. What an easy way to donate to Church!

The Community Yard Sale is held twice a year inside our gym. Tables are available to rent. Proceeds from table rental goes to cover projects sponsored by the H.O.S.T. Society.
