involved.

the charisms of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. One of the ways we at

community. Seton Catholic students participate in school-wide
projects (such as holding food drives to benefit the St. Mary’s Food
Bank), mission work (in Aqua Prieta, Mexico), extracurricular
service (club activities such as blood drives, toy drives, tutoring
and assisting at Paz de Cristo).
