For over 30 years at St. E’s, the business that supported our annual Christmas tree sale was owned and operated by Burt Kaplan. He was well known and much loved by many members of our St. E’s family. Burt’s family recently informed us that he passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home surrounded by loved ones Tuesday, January 12, 2021, after a courageous battle with ALS. Please pray for the repose of Burt’s soul and for his family.
Annual Thanksgiving Food Collection During these unprecedented times it is important to give thanks for the blessings we have received and to share with those who are less fortunate.

The list of foods can be found on the parish website.

St. E’s priests will never, under any circumstances, ask you via email to purchase gift cards or wire money. Any such request is fraudulent and should be deleted immediately. Phishing scams targeting churches in this way have become increasingly common in recent months. Most of these emails will say something like "I have a favor to ask" and proceed to ask you to purchase gift cards or wire money. We recommend you report such emails as phishing scams to your email provider. Please feel free to call the parish office to validate the authenticity of any suspicious email claiming to be from our priests or staff.
Please click the link above to be directed to our prayer request page where we list those who are need of prayer and have a place for you to submit your own requests so we can join together in prayer as a community.
