St. Elizabeth of Hungary

Catholic Parish

All Masses are canceled through this weekend due to the heating system being out.  We hope to resume weekday Masses on Monday, although the church may still be cold.  Please remember that Masses are broadcast on Channel 27 on Sundays at 11:00 a.m and Noon. Updates will be posted here as they become available.  Thanks.

St. Elizabeth has a long-standing association with St. Joseph Residence, and assisted living center in Oak Cliff. If you know of someone looking for a truly caring Catholic facility for an aging loved one, check out their website at   http://www.stjr.org/ 

We are very grateful to those who have continued to give during this difficult time. Through this pandemic, parish staff has sought ways to trim expenses and new ways to continue essential ministries. Some of our ministries like religious education and bible study have moved online. Other ministries such as visiting hospitals and seriously ill people at home have continued with very strict safety guidelines. Our Mass attendance is only about thirty percent of our pre-Covid numbers, but is growing slowly. I am aware that many households and businesses are facing financial challenges, and your parish is no different.  So far, we have been able to remain in the black, thanks to the Finance Committee's careful planning over the past few years.
 
 All this is to say that now, more than ever, we need your support. To those who have not missed a beat in your giving, you are our heroes.For those who are giving sporadically, or are not sure how giving works when you are not attending Mass, we have tried to make it easier for you to support your parish.  Simply click on the Online Giving link on the upper right-hand corner of this page. You can make a one-time donation or your weekly offering.  

We want to make sure that your church is ready for you when you are ready to come back.  Thank you for your support.
