Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church · Wyckoff, New Jersey
Come,
be with us.“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
A new baby. A diagnosis. A question you have carried for years. Whatever you bring with you, you may bring it to Jesus here, and we would like to hear about it.
Before anything else, we are a church.
Everything here begins with Jesus Christ. We worship him, we welcome in his name, we seek his healing, and we go out to serve him in our neighbors.
Worship
“Do this in memory of me.” Luke 22:19
The Mass is the center of our life. Here we hear God’s word and receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
Welcome
“I will not reject anyone who comes to me.” John 6:37
New to the faith, returning after many years, or simply curious, you are welcome in his house.
Healing
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.” Matthew 9:12
Christ still heals, in Confession, in the Anointing of the Sick, and in those who sit with us in grief.
Outreach
“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40
From the altar we go out, to carry bread, visit the lonely and stand with those in need.

A word from Father Stephen this week.
Our pastor’s weekly message to the parish.
Latest message: October 26, 2026
Saint Elizabeth went down from her castle to serve Christ in the hungry.
The story goes that Elizabeth of Hungary was stopped on the road below her castle and asked what she was hiding in her cloak. It was bread for the hungry. When she opened it, it was roses.
The roses are legend. The bread is on the record: a hospital of 28 beds below the castle in the famine of 1226, then the sick of Marburg, served with her own hands. She died at 24.

The debt on this church, April 1909
We know what it is to receive God’s mercy.
A national financial crisis had hit. Wyckoff’s Catholic families could not pay, and the little church was closed and scheduled to be sold. On April 4, Father Francis Koch, O.F.M., came to say Mass and announced that the debt had been canceled.
They repaid $200 anyway, so that other needy parishes could be helped.
From the altar, we go out to serve.
Jesus feeds us at Mass, and he sends us to feed others. Every weekday from 8:30 to 11:30 AM, parish volunteers collect bakery goods and produce from stores around Wyckoff and drive them to Eva’s Kitchen and Father English Food Pantries.
Join us in the weeks ahead.
