Parish Archivist serves St. Elizabeth Ann Seton members and parish staff, to assist in preserving documents, data and memorabilia of the parish history. Parish Archivist Ministry has worked with organizing photographs, such as the church construction and Youth Ministry events. These documents are likely to be retrieved for parish celebrations or other remembrances. The Ministry does not currently decide what items are saved, but assists in preparing them to be stored in a neat, concise way. (paper, CDs, etc.) This ministry welcomes your knowledge in this new endeavor!

Follow Jesus-Serve Others

Parish Archivist follows Jesus, by responding to a need.

How does the Parish Archivist serve others?

• "I do a job that may otherwise fall on a parish staffer with less time.

• I preserve examples of goodness for many to learn in the future."

Reflecting on this Ministry

I do not know most of the people in the photographs that I have been assigned to preserve and organize. However, I think of my family - looking at very old pictures left by my parents and I am hoping that many parishioners will recognize Seton friends at a future celebration slideshow.
