St. Elizabeth Church

State-mandated COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted in Maryland on Thursday, July 1. In keeping with this change, we will phase out our restrictions at St. E's as follows: Ministers of Holy Communion will no longer wear masks. Instead of hand gel dispensers on tables at each communion station, Ministers of Holy Communion will use sanitizing towelettes to purify fingers when contamination is suspected. Two Communion lines will resume in the center aisle at all Masses and in the side aisles as needed. On Saturday, July 24th, congregational singing will resume at Masses for Sunday (except 7:30 a.m.) and the Commons will become a designated no-singing area during Mass. Offertory collections will continue this summer via stationary baskets at the main entrance of the church. Thank you for your continued patience, generosity, and prayer as we implement these changes.

St. E’s priests will never, under any circumstances, ask you via email or text to purchase gift cards or wire money. Any such request is fraudulent and should be deleted immediately. Phishing scams targeting churches in this way have become increasingly common in recent months. Most of these emails will say something like "I have a favor to ask" and proceed to ask you to purchase gift cards or wire money. We recommend you report such emails as phishing scams to your email provider and block the number for texts. Please feel free to call the parish office to validate the authenticity of any suspicious email or text claiming to be from our priests or staff.
