Elizabeth Ministry
The vision of this ministry
is to help the Church truly celebrate the gift of each child conceived and
born, and fully mourn each miscarriage and infant death. This will be a
strong witness to our belief in the dignity and worth of all life. By
assisting those suffering infertility, encouraging those in the adoptive
process, and supporting families experiencing an infant crisis, we will be a
strong and consistent voice for life in our parish, community and the world.

Christmas Potluck
Dinner
Traditionally, the parish is invited in early December to gather
in Madden Hall after the 4 p.m. Saturday vigil Mass for a potluck dinner.
Parishioners bring the side dishes and desserts and the parish provides the
meat. At this gathering, a freewill offering is taken to benefit the St.
Vincent DePaul Society.

Parish Picnic
The picnic has become an annual event, open to all parishioners,
on a Saturday in September at Hidden Lake Park in Merrillville. In addition
to food, music, games and entertainment, participants gather at the end of
the afternoon to celebrate that weekend’s vigil Mass at the picnic site. The
lunch is potluck: bring a dish to share and the parish provides the chicken,
water and tableware. Participants are also asked to bring a non-perishable
food or paper product for the parish food pantry.
Note of interest: in order to secure a shelter,
reservations need to be made early. This year’s date is September 12 and
payment has already been made.
