St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church History
The History of Our Parish
Our history had its immediate origins in the parish of St. Martha’s in La Puente. Responding to the many requests from the Catholic people in Rowland Heights, who longed to have a parish of their own, His Eminence Cardinal Timothy Manning asked that a census be taken. After the census was complete, Monsignor McNamara gave his consent. The Cardinal then declared that Rowland Heights would become a separate parish as of July 1, 1981 with Msgr. Michael F. Killeen as the first Pastor. The parish was named St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, after the first American born saint. Our first mass was celebrated on the Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother on August 15, 1981 in our temporary Church which is now our parish hall.
Our Founding Pastor: Msgr. Michael F. Killeen
Msgr. Michael F. Killeen was born in County Clare. In 1948 he entered Mungret College, an all-boys secondary school and seminary. It was here that he first heard his calling to the vocation of the priesthood. He was recruited to come to the United States in 1955 to study for the priesthood for the Los Angeles Archdiocese at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, CA.
On April 30, 1959, he was ordained to the priesthood at St. Vibiana’s Cathedral. After serving many years in five parishes throughout the Archdiocese, Father Michael Killeen was named as Pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Rowland Heights in 1981. In 1988, Father Killeen was named a Monsignor. After years of faithful service, Msgr. Killeen retired in June 2006 and currently resides at Nazareth House, a Catholic Retirement Home for Priests and Lay people.
Our Patron Saint: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Abide with us
O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
