We are women from all walks of life, who have many different experiences. We are mothers, grandmothers and aunts. We are both married and single parents or have no children of our own.
What do we do?
We visit and share the sacredness of life from conception to natural death. We celebrate birth with new Moms and Dads; we mourn loss with those whose baby has died due to miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death; we support those in the adoption process and those suffering infertility. We cook meals for Mothers on bedrest or who have just had surgery. We pray for all families.
Why are we called “Elizabeth Ministry?”
Our name comes from the scripture story of the visitation where Our Lady visited her cousin Elizabeth who was also with child. Mary remained with Elizabeth through her pregnancy. Just as Mary helped Elizabeth, we, too, give support to women in need in our parish family.
Do you know someone who would be interested?
Elizabeth Ministry is looking for new members. If you are seeking a way to become involved in the life of the parish, please call Carol at 732-691-6001 or [email protected] for more information. You can be as involved as your time allows. We look forward to seeing you!
