Journey with you
If you are a grieving parent or family member, we warmly extend a sad and sincere welcome. We know what it is like to love, lose and miss a little one gone too soon and we are here to journey with you.

Support you
Elizabeth Ministry encourages faith, hope and healing. We feature various resources that may be helpful as you journey through grief. Know that you are not alone. As Mary visited Elizabeth, our ministers journey, support & pray for you.

Pray for you
Our little ones will always be loved and remembered. Our ministry is dedicated to all young children gone too soon. May their light shine on us from heaven as we faithfully honour their beautiful, yet brief lives.
