Parish News

St. Elizabeth's held their annual parish parish picnic at Riverview Park in Sebastian. The weather cooperated with temperatures in a the upper 70's and mild to moderate south breeze. There were over 75 people in attendance who consumed hamburgers, hot dogs, and a sundry of side dishes and desserts. In addition the parishioners there were numerous invited guests who enjoy the food and the music. In all it was a great success with many hands helping to set up, cook and clean-up.

In the beginning of April Fr. Dave was approached by a Boy Scout Leader about the potential of chartering a Boy Scout Troop at St. Elizabeth's. During the conversation it was apparent that it was something that would be a natural fit for both groups. The Cub Pack had relocated to a different meeting place and the parish hall was available. The initial number of Boy Scouts starting the troop was estimated at 5 boys but at their first meeting there were 10 and more are suspected to be on the way.

Holy Week began with the procession of the palms on Palm Sunday with skies that were crystal clear with few small billowy white clouds to accent the vivid blue. The service began outside and after the opening liturgy all processed in sing Hosanna in the highest. Filled with excitement and anticipation it was a morning much like that in Jerusalem over 2000 years ago. Then on Thursday night the mood shifted with the Seder dinner and the transition from a joyous supper to the stripping of the altar.

St. Elizabeth’s ECW hosted their annual Tea Party on Saturday, March 17th. The event was chaired by Janet Mandeville and Tillie Newhart, and Daisy Williams stepped in to be a co-chairwoman. The fellowship hall was decorated with a St. Patrick’s Day theme, and the tables were set with green and white. Tillie created green paper shamrocks with an Irish prayer for each place setting.

6th Sun of Easter - More than a feeling

Posted May 13th, 2012

The Beatles wrote a song "All you need is love". The last line of the chorus is "Love is all you need" but the kind of love expressed in the song cannot express the love God has for us nor ours for Him when we truly abide in Him. When we abide in Him we experience His joy, His revelation, and His friendship. The love we experience is an unconditional love...
