“Our dream is that Elizabeth Ministry will help the Church truly celebrate the gift of each child conceived and born, and fully mourn each miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth and infant or child death. By treasuring the gift of fertility, supporting those suffering infertility problems, encouraging those in the adoptive process, and assisting families experiencing an infant or child crisis or special need, we will be a strong witness to our belief in the dignity and worth of all life.”
