St. Benedict/St. Elizabeth Parish At St. Benedict/St. Elizabeth Parish, we strive to BE (a welcoming) PARISH. At St. St. Elizabeth currently serves over 1200 local Catholics. in downtown Denton.

We are a small Catholic community in the midst of rural farming towns and our members have big hearts and souls rooted in the love of Jesus Christ. We are a small, yet vibrant and Spirit-filled Catholic community with historic roots in Caroline County. Continuing a tradition that spans over 150 years, St. Elizabeth is a community of faith, mutual respect and support. The parish celebrates and worships in its 2 churches: St. Benedict on Central Avenue in Ridgely and St. Elizabeth, located on the corner of 1st & Franklin Sts. The Family Life Center in Ridgely houses a small Chapel, administrative offices, social hall and 10 religious education classrooms. The parish provides for the religious education of children in grades K -10 and is actively involved in the local community through its support of various activities and outreach efforts.
