Children, ages 4 - 8, are invited to the Chapel to participate in "CLOW" during the 10:00 Mass on Sundays, Children hear and talk about age appropriate readings, and are invited to pray for their special needs as well as those of the Church and community. The children are invited up as a group before the first reading and return to their parents in the main Church after the Prayers of the Faithful. Handouts for home activities and discussions are also given weekly.St. Elizabeth hosts various scouting groups based on age and interests of our young parishioners.
Trunk or Treat at St. Elizabeth
St Elizabeth annual "Trunk-or-Treat" is typically held after the Saturday, 4:30 Mass in the large parking lot on Pershing Blvd across from the school. All parish families are invited - both the young and the young at heart!
Parishioners decorate their cars with Halloween fun and treats for the kiddies!!
The benefits of "Trunk-or-Treat" are numerous: less walking for little ones, a safer environment for Halloween, celebrating with the community, and fun for everyone! Decorating your car or trunk is a big part of the celebration for our "trick-or treaters" and for our "kids at heart." You can keep your vehicle decorations simple, or go all out!. Need ideas?

Plan on participating next Halloween season.
Volunteer Opportunities
St Elizabeth also has multiple opportunities for our young people to volunteer. Depending on the age of the child, there are Altar Servers and sacristans, children's bell choir and singing choir, as well as many opportunities to work on specific activities such as the Parish breakfast, basket social and the Parish festival. Browse through the "ministries" tab to see the various activities that can be done as a family or an individual.
