Announcing the Good News
Just because we are grown ups doesn't mean we don't need to continue to grow. As we mature we all begin to appreciate that one size really doesn't fit all. Our tradition offers a wealth of different ways to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ. For some reflective prayer will be the gate way towards a deeper relationship with God, for others formal study will spark a passion, while others will benefit from faith sharing discussions and still others who are busy with young families or work may find that a quick video or internet search benefits them most. Please check out the programs and resoures our parish is offering to feed your desire for a deeper relationship with God.

Bishop Robert Barron’s Sacraments Series
Join us on Wednesday evenings beginning February 24th at 6:30 PM in the hall at Holy Rosary as we watch and discuss this series which offers viewers a chance to more deeply appreciate God’s gift of grace poured out through the Sacraments. Those unable to join us in person may also watch the videos through our Flocknote Engage subscription during Lent.
Making Peace Between Faith & Science
As part of our occasional Faith and Reason series, Fr. Steve will present Making Peace between Faith and Science: A Catholic Approach. Rather than focusing on the scientific evidence supporting belief in God, we will explore how the Catholic approach provides a way to sensibly unite religious faith and the belief in the power of science and reason. Join us in person on Monday, March 1st at 7 p.m. in the hall at Holy Rosary or watch on Facebook Live. Father will take questions from both those who attend in person and on Facebook.
Reflecting on St. Joseph
Join us by Zoom on Thursday March 18th at 7 p.m. as we begin our celebration of the Year of St. Joseph with a visual reflection on St. Joseph facilitated by Mrs. Maura Sweeney. Using a variety of styles of art we will reflect on St. Joseph’s role in the life of Jesus, and how he can be a model for us today.
