The healing services at St. Elizabeth's began as a result of discussions among members of the Pastoral Care Committee, looking for ways to extend pastoral care to all members of the Church, not just those who maybe in crisis at a particular time or who are homebound. These services, held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month at 11:30 am, provide an opportunity for a quiet mid-week Eucharist, with a time set apart during the Prayers of the People for the celebrant to offer individual prayers, with anointing, for those who desire them, either for themselves or on behalf of someone not present.

In addition, we have healing prayers at the end of the 10:00 am service on the first Sunday of each month. Those who would like to pray for a specific concern may come to the communion rail, one at a time, for individual prayer.

Christians have always believed in the possibility of healing because Jesus made healing one of the most important aspects of his ministry. In the Gospels, Jesus responds to people who come to him in faith, seeing in him the potential for new life--whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual life that they are seeking. We believe that Jesus continues to respond to those who come to him in prayer. If you have any questions about these healing services, please contact John Hartnett.
