4th Sunday Of Easter What s the buzz Tell me what s happening...? Did you know that the two mosaics in the sanctuary are considered one of the treasures of the 1904 World s Fair? The Mosaics were commissioned by the Busch family to be displayed at the World s Fair held in Forest Park. They were intended to show our rich German ancestry here in St. Louis. The mosaics were displayed in the German Section of the Palace of Varied Industries. In 1906 the mosaics were donated to the St. Louis Art Museum and were installed as arches over the entrances. After spending many years being loaned out as exhibits across the country they came back to St. Louis and were then donated to the St. Louis Archdiocese. In 1962 Cardinal Ritter presented the mosaics to the newly established St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church that we all call home today! The welcome center is open for business in Room 3 after Saturday 4:30 mass and Sunday 10:30 mass. Stop in for a cup of coffee and meet some new faces around the parish. ARCH Co-op is still holding classes throughout the building all day Wednesday. Boy Scouts will be holding their Adult Leader Training meeting in the cafeteria on Wednesday evening. We are also host every Wednesday evening to a men s AA meeting. Our ongoing SAJE chair exercises, pickle ball games and Zumba are all week at various times in the gym.

News Around Town ACA PLEDGE WEEKENDS The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) pledge weekends are April 26 and May 3. The 2015 financial goal is $13.25 million. Our parish goal is $26,906. It s good to know that approximately 91 cents of every dollar raised goes back into the local community in the form of direct services. Last year we raised $29,514 and had a participation percentage rate of 81%. Let s build on that success and exceed our dollar goal again this year. In addition to being able to make a pledge by cash or check, the pledge forms provide the ability to pay by credit card and even a bill-me-later feature. This makes it easier than ever to help us exceed our goal. Thanks in advance for your contribution. YOU CAN ALSO DONATE ONLINE. See our new website: stelizabethhungary.org.
