Good Samaritan Stitchers Ministry

The Good Samaritan Stitchers  knit and crochet various items, such as baby blankets, prayer shawls, lap robes, hats and scarves. These articles are then delivered to people in need at local hospitals, cancer centers and homeless shelters. We also make white baby blankets that are given to the babies who are baptized at st.Es. 

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join the group. This is a wonderful group who will be happy to give knitting and crocheting lessons. Yarn donations are always accepted, included partially used skeins.

The stitchers generally meet on Thursdays from 5 PM to 6 PM in the Community Room of St. Elizabeth’s. Please consider joining FlockNote because any changes to our schedule will be communicated through this channel. 

Please contact the Lisa Cooper 201-874-6867  for any questions about this ministry.

          

 

Nurse Ministry

A core group of nurses are available for the parish to educate and assist parishioners on good health and fitness. The nurses are available once a month after every mass to take blood pressure of any parishioner wishing to do so. They also publish a monthly newsletter that offers important health care information..

Please contact Arlene Cooper through the Parish Office 973-927-1629 or through [email protected] if you have any questions about this ministry.
 

Special Events

Service & Charity supports different events during the year such as retreats, the Tricky Tray, and the Giving Tree. We also support the other ministries if there is a need. 
Please contact the Parish Office  [email protected] or call  973-927-1629 if you have any questions about this ministry.

Food Pantry

The Parish no longer hosts our own food pantry as it was determined that this function was better served through local area food pantries that are equiped to store necessary items and already have established locations and volunteers to provide these services. 

Below are links to the two local food pantries in our area where parishers can make donations or those in need can contact for assistance. 

Mount Olive Food Pantry

Roxbury Food Pantry

The Knights of Columbus also accepts donations on Fridays from 9:30-12:30 that they will deliver to the Mt. Olive Pantry.
