- She went down from the castle with bread.
  
  We are named for Elizabeth of Hungary. The story goes that she 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.
  
  Her life
- $1,175
  
  What this church owed in 1909
  
  This church was almost sold.
  
  A national financial crisis had hit. Wyckoff’s Catholic families were struggling to keep their homes and feed their children, and they could not pay what they owed on their little church. It was closed and scheduled to be sold.
  
  On April 4, 1909, Father Francis Koch, O.F.M., came to celebrate Mass. He told them that the Church Extension Society had canceled the debt.
  
  They paid back $200 anyway, so that other parishes in need could be helped, and then gave more, in money, painting and repairs.
  
  Read our story
- The bread still goes out.
  
  Fed at Mass, we go out 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. When you are ready, come and serve with us.
