Parish Ministries

St. Elisabeth’s relies on the efforts of our dedicated volunteers to guide our organization, maintain our campus, and develop our community engagement programs. These ministries include our Adult Formation team, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, Communications, Fundraising, and more. We invite you to explore these volunteer opportunities that keep our church running smoothly, and to get involved in one of these ministries.
