Dear Parishioners of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton,
Archbishop George Lucas has appointed Fr. Patrick Nields as the new pastor of our parish. Fr. Nields is currently associate pastor at St. James Parish. Ordained in 2016, Fr. Nields has previously served as pastor of the parishes in Neligh and Tilden, NE. He will be a tremendous fit for our parish.
In addition, the Archbishop has appointed Fr. Jacob Chindo as associate pastor of both St. James and St. Elizabeth Ann. He is a priest of the Minna Diocese in Nigeria, commissioned to serve now in the Archdiocese of Omaha. Fr. Chindo will reside at the St. Elizabeth Ann Rectory.
The effective date for both assignments is October 1. We welcome both priests to our parish.
Fr. Ryan Lewis
