Elizabeth Ministry
The loss of a child is one of the most difficult things to go through in life. Often people feel alone and isolated in their grief. Elizabeth Ministries wants you to know you are not alone. Elizabeth Ministries is a Catholic ministry for women during the child bearing years. The ministry offers support to mothers who have suffered the loss of their child due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death. This ministry is a safe and confidential place to ask for prayers and support. There are currently two Elizabeth Ministry groups in the metro area offering the following:
Elizabeth Ministry group of St. Wenceslaus Parish.
Prayer Group and annual Remembrance Mass
Contact Mary Stieren at 402-697-7514 or stierenm@stwenceslaus.org
Elizabeth Ministry group of St. Columbkille Parish.
Monthly Prayer Group, Support Group, and One-on-One support
For One-on-One Support, Contact Bridget Huggins at 402-541-3090 or bridget.em@cox.net
For Miscarriage Support Group, contact Kristin Heilman at 402-250-7758 or Kristin_heilman2811@yahoo.com
Your parish clergy are a wonderful resource for you during this time of loss. As an extension of your parish, our deacons at Catholic Cemeteries are also available to offer prayer, comfort and consolation to you and your family.
