Due to the current situation with COVID-19 pandemic, Father Barry and the Holy Rosary Festival committee have determined that it is in the Parish's best interest to cancel the 2020 Holy Rosary Festival and Garage Sale.  We are very saddened and disappointed to make this decision, but we feel it is the right decision for the safety of our parish and community.
 
Even though we cannot have our festival, we will hold a Reverse Raffle Drawing with the top prize being $15,000.  1,000 tickets will be sold for $100 each.  This will be in place of our festival this year. 
 
Each person who purchases a ticket will receive one chicken dinner, compliments of Father Barry.  Additional chicken dinner tickets will be available for purchase also.
 
The drawing will take place in September.  If the guidelines allow, we would have a small outdoor gathering for the drawing.
 
If we cannot gather, we will live stream the drawing and have chicken dinners available for carryout.
 
Let’s all look to the future and know that we will be able to gather again soon!
 

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Please continue to make your weekly offering to the parish. Your support is still much needed and appreciated so that we can continue to pay our teachers, parish staff and keep the bills paid. All parishioners of Holy Rosary and St. Patrick's can give using the link above or mail in or drop off your envelopes at the church office in St. Marys. Your generosity is more important than ever in times like these. Donations can be set up to be given one time, weekly, or monthly. Every collection listed on the WeShare webpage is open (Regular, Adopt-a-Student, Capital Improvements, etc.). Thank you for continuing to give to our parishes!

Sincerely,
Father Barry

What are you doing on the Thursday before First Friday of the month? At Holy Rosary we are at the Holy Hour from 6:30 to 7:30. We start with a song, followed by the Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet. After a little quiet time to pray, we have a reflection given by either Fr. Barry or Deacon Marty. We end with a special prayer and Benediction. Each month is a different devotional theme.

Why not make it a monthly thing for your family to make a Holy Hour at Holy Rosary Church on the Thursday before First Friday. It will make a big difference for you and your kids.
