Dedicated as a parish to the Most Holy Rosary, we wish to celebrate October as the Month of the Rosary in a profound way; by having a daily opportunity to come together to pray this powerful prayer as a community. We wish to become ever more faithful disciples by spending this month in contemplation of the mysteries of Christ through the Rosary which Pope Pius XII called “a compendium of the entire Gospel”.
We hope you will join us multiple times in October to join with our parish community to pray the rosary!

Fr. Baker is offering monthly Evenings of Recollection. Here is how he explains the process:
Evenings of Recollection can be considered a mini retreat to help us grow as disciples of the Lord Jesus. Holy Rosary Parish is about forming missionary disciples, those who are ever deepening their faith and going out to help others to grow as disciples. We are not about maintaining organizations, running activities, or promoting institutions. There can be a temptation to fall into “maintenance” thinking in a parish rather than discipleship thinking. A monthly evening of recollection can keep us focused on discipleship. Discipleship requires an on-going process of conversion. Discipleship means change!
Here is how an evening of recollection works: It begins with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Then there is a spiritual talk, given by the priest, an examination of conscience, and an opportunity for confession. During confession, there is time for prayer and sometimes a lay talk. After confession, there is a second spiritual talk by the priest, and the evening concludes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. It is all scheduled to last about two hours, roughly from 7-9 p.m. It is a retreat right here in your own parish every month!
The spirituality of St. Josemaria Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, inspires the evenings of recollection. This spirituality focuses on the universal call to holiness of all Christians in ordinary life and our identity and dignity as Sons and Daughters of God by virtue of baptism.

EVENING OF RECOLLECTION FOR WOMEN

This significant feast day recalls the spiritual and physical departure of the mother of Jesus Christ from the earth when both her soul and her body were taken into the presence of God.
Venerable Pope Pius XII confirmed this belief about the Virgin Mary as the perennial teaching of the Church when he defined it formally as a dogma of the Catholic faith in 1950, invoking papal infallibility to proclaim, “that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”
We will celebrate this feast day and Holy Day of Obligation on Tuesday, August 15th at 8am, 12pm and 6pm.
Please join us!
The air conditioning in the church is not working and can not be repaired in time for masses this weekend, so Father Baker has decided to hold mass in the gym on Saturday evening and for both Sunday masses.
We need volunteers to help put away chairs and the tarp after 11:00 mass on Sunday. If you can stay after mass or return to the gym around 12:15 on Sunday, it would be greatly appreciated! Many hands make light work .. and this is a great opportunity for service hours for any young people.
We are excited to offer the Evening of Recollection for men and women as a monthly “mini-retreat ” on the 3rd and 4th Thursdays of every month from 7- 9 pm.
It will include:
It is guided by the spirituality of St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, to promote holiness in ordinary life, and we hope many of our parishioners will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. These evenings will be led by Fr. Baker.
The members of the Church of the Holy Rosary invite you to join us as we celebrate the Installation of our new pastor Fr. John Sims Baker. We will mark this blessed occasion with mass and installation by Bishop Spalding at the 11 am mass followed by a luncheon in the Family Life Center.
If you will be attending the luncheon, please RSVP by August 1 with how many family members will be attending.
