Saint Rose of Lima Church

ANNOUNCEMENTS
March 1, 2026

• This Lent, take time to grow deeper in faith. We are offering special reflection opportunities for Teens, Men, and Women — each designed to help you renew your prayer life, better understand our Lenten practices, and draw closer to Christ during this sacred season. Whether you’re in middle school, high school, or an adult looking to deepen your spiritual journey, there is something for you. All are welcome.  Please see the posters at the church entrances for details and scan the QR code to sign up. We hope you’ll join us!
  
  
• Next weekend’s second collection is for the Women’s Care Center. Their mission is to provide alternatives to abortion that respect life and encourage healthy development of the family.  They depend on your generosity to help fund the many services they provide, such as pregnancy counseling, ultrasounds, parent education programs, and material assistance.  In addition to this second collection, we have the Baby Bottle campaign underway throughout Lent.  Please take a baby bottle home and fill it with spare change, cash or a check made out to the Women’s Care Center.  Thank you in advance for your generous support.
  
  
• The St. Rose Knights of Columbus invite you to a FREE Grand Slam Breakfast on Sunday, following the 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM Masses. Bring your family and your appetite—everyone is welcome!
  
  
• And finally, before we conclude, we’d like to wish a very happy birthday to Fr. Celestine, whose birthday is this Monday! Father, we are so grateful for your faithful service, your prayers, and the many ways you shepherd our parish.  May God bless you with good health, great joy, and abundant grace in the year ahead.  Please join me now in singing Happy Birthday.

Our OCIA sessions are underway on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith or to invite a family member or friend who may be interested in becoming Catholic. New participants are welcome to join at any time. For more information, please call the parish office or see Len Mialki.
