4. Community Building This is
the final area of ministry. Community is the goal of Christianity. God
is building a Communion of Saints. The building community is the heart
and center of our vocation as a church. A.
Athletic Program- This includes sports for youth and adults. We have
men's basketball on Wednesday nights and adult co-ed volleyball. The
youth have soccer, volleyball, basketball and track. They always need
coaches and helpers for the kids. Contact the parish office.
Bunny Rogan is the current coordinator, B.
Cursillo- This is a weekend retreat experience. Not something you
would probably want to do right away, but to be considered in the
future. After your weekend, you will meet weekly with others who have
also done the retreat, for faith sharing. Contact the parish office,
778-3122. C. Coffee'nd-
You to can host coffee 'nd after the 9 AM and 11 AM Masses on Sunday. Involves buying
the donuts and juice and seeing that the coffee is made. We always
need help with this. Your group will get the proceeds to use in your
ministry. Contact Colleen, 778-3122. D.
Youth Ministry- The youth group is very active at Holy Rosary
participating in a wide range of activities. Watch the bulletin
for information. If you would like to work with a high school aged
parishioner, make haste and call the parish office at 778-3122, ext 225. E.
Knights of Columbus- This is a men's organization that
encompasses several of our local parishes. They have social
activities, they do Super Sunday each month and donate the money to
the Human Life Organization to combat all the many ways that life is
threatened from abortion to euthanasia. The Knights also sponsor a
basketball shooting contest and our annual Easter egg hunt for kids.
They also provide scholarships to the three parish schools they draw
their members from. Contact parish for the current contact, Jim
O'Brien F. Parent

children in the Holy Rosary School. They help raise funds for extra
programs for the kids. They sponsor various speakers and programs
throughout the year. Contact the school at 778-3197. G.
Pastoral Council- This is the group in the parish that advises
Father on policy for the parish. He consults with them on the
important decisions that the parish must make. H. Little Blessings- This
is a group of parents with young children. They meet 2-3 times per
month for mutual support and sharing. They also go on field trips, do
crafts and generally have a good time. Contact Elizabeth Peck at
(425)640-2736. I. Assorted Social and Fundraising
Events- The auction is one of our primary fundraisers and yet those
who work on it always have a good time- it is an excellent way to get
to know other parishioners. There is a social and dinner for widows and
widowers in November; a Celebration of Marriage Dinner/Dance for
couples in the spring; a welcoming dinner for all those who have joined
our parish in the Fall; the St. Nicholas Breakfast; and the St.
Patrick Salad Luncheon. There are also card playing leagues and other
smaller events. Every year there are different social opportunities,
watch the bulletin
for announcements- you can both attend and help out. J.

to work on quilting projects. If interested, contact the parish
office, 778-3122. K. Parish Commissions- The
commissions set goals, do evaluations and help carry out programs for
the appropriate parish groups. They are: Outreach, Faith
Formation, Marriage
and Family Life, Finance and Youth.
