Elizabeth Ministry


The ministry is an international movement designed to support women and their families during the joys, trials and sorrows of the childbearing years and beyond. Elizabeth Ministry's mission is to cherish children, encourage families and build community.  Our chapter has grown into a tri-parish endeavor.

Volunteers become Elizabeth Ministers in the areas they have experienced. Continued support is given throughout the pregnancy and after birth to mothers, grandmothers and any other family member who request our aid.  Support comes in the form of visits, telephone calls, cards, prayers, and assistance.

The areas of Elizabeth Ministry include, but are not limited to, pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, regretted abortions, infant and child death, crisis or special needs, adoption, fertility, and infertility as well as loved ones affected by such circumstances ie. Grandparents.  Elizabeth Ministers are volunteer representatives of a faith community -- they are NOT counselors, but are present to offer peer support, mentoring and friendship. No lengthy training is needed. Ministers are women willing to share their presence, stories, and experience in hope this will encourage another woman and her family.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to any interested lady of the Parish to share their friendship with us. We meet the first Wednesday monthly at 7:00 p.m. in the School Building.
