Welcome to
 St. Elizabeth Seton
         Parish

Established in 1966 to serve the 400 families residing in the then rural Bedford, the parish has grown to approximately 3000 households, numbering some 10,000 individuals.

As you “page” through the web site, I believe that you will gain an understanding of a large, living, and vibrant parish, striving through our spiritual and varied programs and activities to make the Lord’s Mission our own.
