Are you looking for a way to engage with the parish on a deeper level?  Do you have concerns that you want to voice on behalf of your fellow parishioners?  Are you looking for ways to continue to grow our parish membership?  If yoiu answered yes to any of those questions, St. Elizabeth's Parish Council wants you!

Our Parish Council needs two more volunteers.  If you are interested, please contact.  Please reach out to Tinika McIntosh-Amouzouvi at tinika.mcintosh@gmail.com to express your interest.

Next week, Dr. Bobby Shockly, the Principal of All Saints Catholic School will be visiting us at our 10 a.m. Mass.  Many of our Parish's youth attend All Saints and as this school is part of our Parish.  Every year we contributer financially to the school to help children pursuing a Catholic education.

Greetings,

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is a gradual process of conversion and initiation into the Catholic Christian community providing individuals the space to encounter God and respond to His invitation to a new way of life in the Catholic faith.  Grounded in a respect for the personal faith journey of each individual, the OCIA provides an extended period of prayer, study and fellowship in which each individual has the opportunity to grow in relationship with God and the parish community.

Who is the OCIA for?

- Persons who have never been baptized and wish to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist (Holy Communion) in the Catholic Church.

- Persons who were baptized in another Christian denomination and wish to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church by receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

- Baptized Catholics who have not completed their initiation, by receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

If this is something that interests you, please reach out to our OCIA Coordinator, Chris Metgger at ocia@stelizcc.org.  Class starts on September 20th after 10 a.m. Mass.

We will be holding Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament this Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.  Even if you can't come for the whole hour, please consider dropping in for whatever length of time you can.  This is a wonderful opportunity to meditate in quiet prayer and bring ourselves closer to Our Lord.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
