The goal of the Bible Study group is to encounter God through Sacred Scripture. We use courses from leading Catholic sources and are guided by the Holy Spirit as we meet in fellowship and common inquiry to quench our thirst for spiritual nourishment and a more personal relationship with Jesus.

R.C.I.A. (or simply “RCIA”) stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the process by which a person is initiated into the Catholic Church, through Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion. In this program, you will learn the basics of our faith and the teachings of the Church. RCIA consists of four periods: the period of Inquiry, the Catechumenate, Purification and Enlightenment, and Mystagogy. At Easter, you are invited to join the Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.

St. Elizabeth Society is a small group community, a Catholic voice for women, helping them to become the best versions of themselves — living vessels of Christ to the world around them. Please consider attending one of our meetings held on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the parish basement. There are no commitments, no obligations, and there is no membership so if you haven’t attended a meeting before that’s ok. We’d love to see you so please join us if the Spirit calls you!
