Elizabeth Ministry

MISSION
The Elizabeth Ministry is Queen of All Saints’ embodiment of the historic ministry that began with the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. Together we explore women’s spirituality, family life and motherhood, including the joys and struggles of birth, adoption, loss, infertility and parenting. We fulfill our mission through spiritual and social events, prayer trees, meal preparation for families in need, and connecting women of similar experiences.
