BOW for Children in Grades K-2 Breaking Open the Word (BOW) takes place on
Sundays during the 10 am Mass. Children in grades K-2 leave the church after the Opening Prayer for their own Liturgy of the Word in Seton Hall and return to their parents after the Prayers of the Faithful. We encourage parents to send their children forward when Father calls for them, but please do not send children younger than kindergarten age. Contact Eileen Iammartino at 816.523.2405, ext. 3417, for more information about BOW.
Young Active Parishioners (YAPs) is a group of twenty-and thirty–something
married and single parishioners who gather for social events, community service projects and spiritual enrichment.

Homily Focus Group What it is: St. Elizabeth parishioners meet for an
hour and reflect on the Sunday Readings in the current liturgical cycle. This is done by looking at how the Scriptures apply to concrete situations in our lives and in the world. Reflections will assist the priest to prepare a homily that is suited to the needs of the community. In addition to this, the exercise will help one to grow in deeper appreciation of Scripture and prepare one to better hear the readings proclaimed at Mass. Several parishioners have already been involved in this and have enjoyed it very much. I myself have found it very helpful and enriching to my own spiritual life.
When it is: There are several dates I have set aside for the remainder of the year. The meetings will be from 7 pm to 8 pm on the following days.
