Charismatic Prayer

The Charismatic Prayer Group meets on the first Thursday of each month at 8 p.m.
in the Spiritual Life Center. It is a place where you may find peace and friendship, a gathering of those who want more, who have need of a closer relationship with our Lord.
We praise him in prayer and song and share his word in scripture. Come and spend time with us in the presence of the Lord.

Novenas of Prayer

Novenas of Prayer offers prays to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Chaplet Novena to the Divine Mercy. Novenas of Prayer meets on Thursday evenings in the Spiritual Life Center.

Rosary Society

The Rosary Society's goal is to promote and spread devotion to Mary, Our Blessed Mother, and encourage daily recitation of the Rosary. The Rosary Society is both spiritual and social, and acts as a fundraiser. It is ready to assist the parish whenever, or wherever needed.
Meetings are held quarterly - October, December, March and May.

Ministry of Praise

The Ministry of Praise is a spiritual ministry in which members pray each day for the world, especially the members of the parish. It provides a spiritual powerhouse that will bring God's blessings on everyone in the parish: Pastoral Team, Support Staff, parents, youth, inactive Catholics and anyone in need of spiritual strength and direction.

Cursillo

The word Cursillo is taken from the Spanish for "short course".  The Cursillo is a short course in the basics of Christianity  and what it means to live the life of a Christian.
Through the Cursillo, Catholicism takes on a new and deeper meaning as God's unconditional love for us is revealed on this most unique weekend. Ultreya, which means "to go forth",
is the follow up program for all who have made a Cursillo.

Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration is an expression of our love and gratitude for Jesus who remains with us day and night in the Blessed Sacrament. It is our response to Jesusx love for us, whereby each of us is willing to spend a quiet holy hour of prayer in his Eucharistic presence once a week on a regular basis.

At St. Elizabeth, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Adoration is also held on special holy days and feast days as announced.


The Eucharist is exposed in a monstrance on the altar in a quiet chapel located in the Spiritual Life Center, which is next to the Parish Center at the western end of the property. This time can be used to pray quietly in the presence of the Eucharist. Each week, two hundred or more people from St. Elizabeth and our neighboring parishes come to the chapel to spend an hour with Jesus in silent prayer and adoration. Visitors are always welcome during the hours of Exposition. However, since we must always have at least two people present before the exposed Blessed Sacrament, we must assign at least three adorers per hour to ensure continuous attendance daily.

Men's Fellowship

Men's Fellowship meets the first Saturday of each month from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Members share fellowship, scripture, prayer, bagels and coffee. We read the gospel for the following Sunday and you can share, or just listen, to how this scripture affects our lives, or perhaps, how it could or should.
All are welcome!

Evenings of Prayer and Retreats

Evenings of Prayer and Retreats are offered through the Spiritual Life Center.
Our "Featured News & Events" section lists upcoming events.  You can also receive notices of new offerings by sending Rosary Garrityan email with your name and address.

SCC (Small Christian Communities)

Small Christian Communities offer a way for people to come together and share life and faith in small group settings. Presently, there are about 200 parishioners who come together weekly or biweekly to share the impact the scripture has on their lives. Through these gatherings, powerful feelings of belonging are formed. Small Christian Communities bridge the gap between the larger gathering we experience on Sunday and the life we live in the every day world. Small Christian Communities allow us to share our experiences and to seek meaning in our lives while noticing the presence of God alive in our midst. It is a real opportunity for deepening one's relationship with God and with one another. The power of the Holy Spirit is manifested as the small group grows into a community of believers and takes up responsibility for creating a better world. Members of Small Christian Communities are actively involved in many ministries, bringing new vigor and enthusiasm to the larger church.
