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.

Volunteers become Elizabeth Ministers in the areas they
have experienced. Continued support is given throughout
the pregnancy and after birth; support from 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. Elizabeth Ministers are
volunteer representatives of a faith community -- they
are NOT counselors, but are present to offer peer
support, mentoring and friendship. No lengthly 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.
