Support for Women and Mothers
Elizabeth Ministries focuses on one and one accompaniment for women in their childbearing years, as well as encouraging families and uplifting the sanctity of marriage. They visit and share in the joys and sorrows of childbearing – from miscarriage, to infertility, postpartum depression or other challenging scenarios, as well as the gift of a new baby. Following the example of Mary and Elizabeth, they visit and share the sacredness of life, of offering hope, help and healing while also giving practical support.
We have a gift for you! St. Pius wants to ensure that you are aware of our support for you during the childbearing joys and sorrows. Elizabeth Ministry volunteers are women who have “been there,” and are willing to be a prayer support and a listening presence for you. Our “Gift & Resource” Kits are specifically designed for your situation. You are welcome to refer yourself or to refer a friend or family member.
All referrals are kept confidential.

Experiencing A Miscarriage?
We have resources for women who have been told their unborn baby has died and they will experience a miscarriage. We can help you through this difficult process. Miscarriage Delivery Aids are provided free by the parish and are available in the Narthex. Burial Vessels are available through our volunteers. We have volunteers who have been through similar situations before and are willing to be there for you to pray, to listen or to simply provide you with resources you can read and use on your own.

Mourning the Loss of a Child
If you have lost a child through miscarriage, SIDS or infant death, we are here to help you through the grieving process. You will be matched with a woman of the parish who has suffered a loss similar to yours. We are here to offer prayer support and to provide a listening presence. We also have resources unique to your situation. You are welcome to accept the resources without any obligation to spend time in conversation. We are here for whatever your needs are.
