Baptism and Confirmation
Baptism is the rite by which an individual is received into the community of faith. We baptize infants, children, and adults. Confirmation is the rite through which an individual expresses a mature commitment to Christ and receives strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop.
Weddings and Funerals
St. Elisabeth’s is an inclusive and welcoming community that invites all couples to consider celebrating the rite of Holy Matrimony at our church.
