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.

WHAT WE DO

MEAL TRAIN
Volunteers prepare and drop off hot meals to families who could use a little TLC, 
whether dealing with illness or loss, welcoming a baby or facing a family emergency, let us offer the gift of a family meal. Email us to set up a meal train for you or a friend in the parish or to join our volunteer team.

PRAYER TREE
A dedicated group of women who will offer up your intention in their own daily prayer for one week. Email us your prayer requests or to join our prayer team.

CRAFTING MINISTRY
