The Welcome Home Ministry is a six-week program offered twice a year aimed at helping Catholics to return to their church. It is open to inactive Catholics and present active Catholics interested in learning more about their faith. The program uses a non-judgmental approach designed to recognize the feelings of each participant and assist them to understand that they are not alone. It is designed to provide a welcoming atmosphere regardless of personal circumstances.
The two-hour sessions are held on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the Parish Hall. The next six-week session is October 10th through November 14th 2010.

Vision of Elizabeth Ministries
"Our dream is that this ministry will help the church truly celebrate the gift of each child conceived and born, and fully mourn each miscarriage and infant death. This will be a strong witness to our belief in the dignity and worth of all life! By assisting those suffering infertility, encouraging those in the adoptive process, and supporting the families experiencing an infant crisis, we will be a strong and consistent voice for life in our parish, community and world." |

Elizabeth Ministry is an outreach to women in special times of motherhood. It is based on Jesus' vision of the radical goodness, beauty and truth of human life. The purpose of this ministry is to affirm, support, encourage, and assist women in response to their needs during the childbearing years.
