Services of Holy Eucharist are offered at noon (Rite II) and 7:30 p.m. (Rite II). At 4:30 p.m. a children's serice is held (no Holy Eucharist). Imposition of ashes will be offered at all services.

Evensong 2020 Music in Lent

Choral Evensong (March 7)
A service of Evensong, celebrating the important support of the Galletly Scholarship Program, will be offered on Saturday, March 7 at 4:30 p.m. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall. The Galletly Scholarship program offers scholarships to younger choristers who have demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment to the choral program at St. Elizabeth’s. These scholarships afford an opportunity to our younger choristers to attend excellent summer choral programs, most notably in Newport, RI.
Fauré Requiem (March 29)
The performance of a Choral Requiem to explore the mysteries of life, death, and what follows has become a Lenten tradition at St. Elizabeth’s on the Sunday before Palm Sunday. An outstanding group of instrumentalists joins the choir. On Sunday, March 29 the Senior Choir, Galletly Scholars and select Junior and Youth choristers will be performing the Requiem by Gabriel Fauré at the 10 a.m. service. This is a challenging, seven movement, 35-minute major choral work. More information about this offering may be found here.
Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil
These services provide more musical offerings. The Easter Sunday 9:30 a.m. Family Service features the Cherub, Junior and Youth Choirs with the Senior Choir joining the service for Händel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” At the 11:15 a.m. service the Senior Choir sings and the “Hallelujah Chorus” along with instrumental offerings are also presented at both services.
