Seventh Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners:

Congratulations to the mothers of our parish. May God continue to bring you many blessings. We should pause and give thanks for all our mothers and everything they have done for us. Our gratitude should extend beyond this one day.

Sixth Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners:

We have many activities in the parish this weekend. You almost need a scorecard to keep track of everything. First, let me extend my congratulations to all the married couples, whom we honor this weekend in our annual Celebration of Marriage mass on Saturday. A list of the couples is included in the bulletin. This celebration is one way we honor couples who have lived out their commitment of their marriage vows. If you visit the Pastoral Center, we have pictures of all the different groups whom we have honored over the years in the Bride’s Room.

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners:

Congratulations to the 41 children, who made First Communion this weekend. Next week, we will have the Celebration of Marriage at the 5:00 PM mass on Saturday. If you have a significant anniversary, and if you plan to attend the mass, please let us know. Also, on Sunday, May 5th at the 11:00 AM Mass, Bishop Burns of Juneau, Alaska will celebrate the sacrament of confirmation. Please join us for that special celebration as we honor those youth, who will be confirmed. Following confirmation at 3:00 PM, we will have the musical, "Moses". The musical should be fun for the entire family. Please join us for this special event.

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners:

This weekend is celebrated as “Good Shepherd Sunday” throughout the church based on John Chapter 10 in which Jesus describes himself as a shepherd. A shepherd in the ancient world was a leader in the community. The shepherd was in charge of the flocks. In the ancient world, a shepherd would guard against wild animals and would-be robbers. If the shepherd went off and left the flock, he could return, and the flock could be gone. If you had a responsible leader, then you had food for the table and wool for clothes.

Year of Faith Speaker Series: Fr. Robert Barron

One's blessings increase if one gives them away, a Chicago priest told an overflow crowd at Holy Rosary Church on Jan. 28.

True happiness is not attained by filling your life with pleasure, honor, money or power, said Fr. Robert Barron, a popular speaker, author and theologian who kicked off the archdiocesan Year of Faith speaker series to about 1,400 people.

On Courage, Faith and Sacrifice

A Reflection by Laurie Hatch on the Importance of Supporting the Building a Servant Community Campaign

Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, 2013

Thank you, Father Haydock, for the introduction, and the opportunity to speak today.

I know most of you from serving on the many ministries here at Holy Rosary. I have shared my passion for reading by serving as a lector where I can read you the Old Testament. I have demonstrated my passion for our faith by supporting candidates and catechumens on their journey towards building a relationship with our Lord through our RCIA program. I am passionate about the sustainability and growth of our parish so I have been serving you through the Stewardship Commission. I am here today to share my perspective on Courage, Faith and Sacrifice.

Third Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners:

After Easter was over, I tried to take two weeks off. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that I did not have a free weekend between April and July.First, the parish has started its debt reduction drive to raise funds to pay off the debt of the Pastoral Center. Second April brings the Annual Catholic Appeal. This year’s goal assigned by the Archdiocese of Seattle is $179,000. If the parish does not raise the money, the Archdiocese sends us a bill for the difference.
