Since we haven’t been able to have many in-person events because of Covid restrictions, we are finally getting together with our new parishioners!
We are inviting anyone who has joined our parish since 2020 to join us for some gatherings we are hosting this summer. If you are new to Holy Rosary, please click this link.
Our first gathering will be a Family Day at the HRA playground on July 10 at 9:30 am.
Because of Totus Tuus, daily masses for the upcoming week will be at 9 am and there is no Tuesday evening mass. There will also be a potluck dinner at 5 pm on Wednesday for the entire parish
If you are attending, please see below for a suggestion on what to bring along with beverages for your family:
Last names that begin with:
A-M : bring a side or “entree-like” item
N-Z : bring a dessert
Also, as an FYI… one of the missionaries cannot eat red meat and one is allergic to tree-nuts.
Update: Our watch party for Sunday the 13th is canceled due to a lack of sign-ups. Please share with your friends and family that sign-ups are still available and will continue as scheduled on June 20th and June 27th.
Hello, friends!

Please welcome our new deacon: Deacon Nonso Ohanaka.
He will reside with us this summer and plans on being a big help to Father Steiner while he is here with us. Keep him in your prayers, as he will be ordained to the priesthood next year!! Please make him feel at home and comfortable.
Hello, parishioners of Holy Rosary. My name is Deacon Nonso Ohanaka and I am incredibly happy to be with your community for the summer. I have been a seminarian for the diocese for the past six years and I grew up in Nashville. My family is from Nigeria and that is where I was born. I came to the U.S with my parents and siblings when I was five in 2001. We have lived in Nashville since. Most of my extended family is still in Nigeria. I am the oldest of five children: three boys and two girls. My full name is Chukwunonso, which means “God is near.” Being a priest is something that I have always been interested in since I was a little kid. I enjoy learning about how movies are made and I like to play sports. I look forward to getting to know you all.
Holy Rosary is pleased to offer a Bible Study Opportunity this summer.
The Bible Study Genesis to Jesus by the St. Paul Center will be offered twice a week, once in the morning and once in the evening. The evening session will begin on June 22nd, beginning after Mass (approx. 6:45) on Tuesdays, and the morning sessions will be offered beginning Thursday, June 24th at 9:00 am (after the 8:00 am Mass). Both groups will meet in the conference room in the Parish office.
This is a six-week study. We will order the participant workbooks. They can be purchased from the office for approximately 23.00 each.
There is a supplemental book, A Father Who Keeps His Promises, by Scott Hahn. This can be purchased by each participant if they choose to buy it.
Join us for a fun and faith-filled week! Learn about the Virtues, Beatitudes and the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary while growing in your relationship with the Lord.
Day program (for rising 1st through 6th graders) Monday, June 14th – Friday, June 18th from 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM

The Church of the Holy Rosary has identified the formal need to enhance our handicapped /assisted parking offerings to our parishioners. We have evaluated the churches demographics and determined that an expansion in providing such amenities to our parishioners is a priority. Our parish is seeing growth and we see the need to expand our accommodations for those in need of handicapped/assisted parking, in a safe and professional manner is of high importance.
The parking lot is to be positioned on corner lot will be on the adjacent corner lot to the church (Gr-aylynn Dr. & Crossfield Dr). This location is ideal for such an asset, as it will allow easy access to the existing zero grade entry on that side of the church.
The new parking lot will provide 10,000 square feet in additional church parking; resulting in approximately 26 additional spaces; 60% Handicapped , 40% intended for those needing enhanced easy access assistance.
We have acquired estimates on the said construction of the parking lot that was recently conducted with the Engineering firm. The budgetary estimate for the construction of the parking lot is in the $165,000 range.
In order for the Holy Rosary Parish to move forward in a timely manner with such an endeavor we are asking for donations, earmarked specifically to support this project.
Please note: Any funds received and noted for this Qroject will be used specifically for this “Parking Lot Construction”.
We are hoping that you would formally consider partnering with The Church of the Holy Rosary on this expansion of assets to our parishioners – thru the means of a financial donation; any and all consideration of such request would be much appreciated.
Our targeted goal for the opening of this new parking lot the 3rd quarter of 2021 (July -Sept).
Thank you for your generosity and consideration!
God Bless you and your families.
Fr. Daniel Steiner Pastor – The Church of the Holy Rosary
