St. Alexander Council of Catholic Women at 300 S Cornell Avenue, Villa Park, IL 60181 US - Elizabeth Ministry / Rosebud Program

    Elizabeth Ministry provides a variety of services to young women and families, including a Wednesday morning 'Mom & Tot' morning, and monthly scrapbooking nights.  See the parish bulletin for details.
    In addition, we offer the Rosebud program of prayers for expecting and hoping-to-expect mothers.  in front of the statue of St. Theresa (near the Reconciliation Room at the rear of our church) is a vase of different colored artificial flowers with prayer cards attached.  There are prayer cards for women expecting a child, hoping to conceive, or hoping to adopt, etc.  Women - or their relatives or friends - choose a rose with the appropriate prayer card, write the woman's first name on the card, place the rose in the vase, and the card in the provided box.  At frequent intervals, the cards are picked up, and the woman's name is included in the prayer services at various Council of Catholic Women events.
