WELCOME
Father Antony Varghese, CFIC and staff welcome you!
St. Elizabeth parish is a welcoming family of faith "Risen in Christ's love". We gather in worship to God; provide knowledge and sacraments for spiritual growth; serve the needs of others; and share the Good News for the glory of God!
SCAM
Friends, another email scam has arisen. You may receive an email supposedly from Fr. Antony, asking you to respond to him as soon as possible. IT IS A SCAM. Do not respond to this email, and delete it. The Diocese is aware and is working on solving the problem.

If you are unable to receive the Precious Body and Blood of Christ in person, we ask that you make an Act of Spiritual Communion by reciting the following after the priest receives communion:
"My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unity myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You."
