Elizabeth Ministry at St. Francis Parish

(This is written for the St. Francis Parish Canticle Newsletter 2012-11-12)

Over 100 women in St. Francis Parish make themselves available to assist families in the parish community who need short term help.  The Elizabeth Ministry brings meals to parishioners who are welcoming a new baby or who are recovering from an illness or an accident.  In some cases, we help with light housekeeping or household chores.  We visit and respond lovingly and gently following the example of Elizabeth and Mary.

Here is an excerpt from a recent note from one of our recipients:  "Thank you so much for helping us by bringing meals the week after our son was born.  We have never appreciated warm, home-cooked meals so much, and it was so helpful as we experienced the transition to parenthood.  We hope that we will be able to give back to the community of St. Francis as our son continues to grow."

We invite you to join us in this heart-warming ministry.  Please sign up at the parish website or call Scott Wright at 734-821-2121.  As the hymn says:  "All are welcome."
