A tri-parish ministry involving Mother of Sorrows, Saint Joseph, and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parishes



The Elizabeth Ministry is an outreach to parents during the times of celebration, challenge, and sorrow. The purpose of this ministry is to provide support, comradeship, spiritual guidance and encouragement to parents of any age. It is based on Jesus's vision of the goodness, beauty, and truth of human life. By following the example set by Mary and Elizabeth, parents are brought together to share experiences and respond to each others' needs during and after the childbearing years.

WHO is an Elizabeth Minister?
Any one of any age can be an Elizabeth Minister. It simply requires personal experience and a warm heart that wants to reach out to another parent to help them through a difficult time or time of celebration.

TIME it takes?
This is simply up to the minister and the one she is ministering to. The contact can be through personal visits, phone calls, or simply cards to let that person know you care and are willing to listen.
