Welcome to Holy Rosary Parish

Dear Friends,

October is an important month in the life of the Church. It is a month of special devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary and it is also Respect Life month. You might want to combine these two priorities by praying the Rosary with special intentions for life issues. In Gaudete et exsultate (84), Pope Francis shared this timely reflection.

“Our defence of the innocent unborn, for

example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate, for at stake is the dignity of a human life, which is always sacred and demands love for each person, regardless of his or her stage of development. Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery, and every form of rejection.”

Through the intercession of Blessed Mother Mary, may we grown in our respect of human life in every aspect.

Christ’s peace, Fr. Bernie

Queridos amigos,

Octubre es un mes importante en la vida de la Iglesia. Es un mes de especial devoción a la Santísima Madre María y también es el mes del Respeto a la Vida. Es posible que desee combinar estas dos prioridades rezando el Rosario con intenciones especiales para los problemas de la vida. En Gaudete et exsultate (84), el Papa Francisco compartió esta oportuna reflexión.

“Nuestra defensa del inocente nonato, por ejemplo, debe ser clara, firme y apasionada, pues está en juego la dignidad de una vida humana, que siempre es sagrada y exige amor por cada persona, independientemente de su etapa de desarrollo. Sin embargo, son igualmente sagradas las vidas de los pobres, los que ya han nacido, los indigentes, los abandonados y los desfavorecidos, los enfermos vulnerables y los ancianos expuestos a la eutanasia encubierta, las víctimas de la trata de personas, las nuevas formas de esclavitud y todas las formas de rechazo."

Por la intercesión de la Santísima Madre María, crezcamos en nuestro respeto por la vida humana en todos los aspectos.

La paz de Cristo, P. Bernie

Holylands Arts at Holy Rosary

With the hostilities worsening in the Holy Land and due to lack of Christian pilgrims because of COVID-19, unemployment rate increased to almost 80%.

Holylands Arts is one of the few Christian Organizations that took the responsibility of helping Christians of the

Holy Land market their hand crafts in the United States.

Many Christian Palestinians have responded by fleeing the Holy Land. And, it is conceivable that all Christians could leave. However, the absence of a living Christian community is very dangerous for the Holy sites such as the Nativity Church in Bethlehem.

Artwork will be available in the atrium after each Mass on November 6/7. By purchasing these engraved pieces of art, you help strengthen the Christian presence in the city of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, and the surrounding areas.

Proceeds go to the Christian families (the artisans) who have been working hard since ages in this type of tourism related hand-carvings.

For more information, please visit www.theholylands.org

A Stewardship Prayer for October.

My Lord Jesus, As the rains hide the stars, as the autumn mist hides the hills, as the clouds veil the blue of the skies, so the dark happenings of the world hide the shining of your face from me. Yet, if I may hold your hand in the darkness, it is enough, since I know that, as the steward of your grace, though I may stumble on this journey of mine, you will not let me fall. Amen.

(Inspired by a Celtic prayer) October is Respect for Life Month

During the weekend liturgies on October 30/31, we will be remembering those from the parish who have died in the past 12 months.

The names of each person will be read at all the Masses and a candle will be displayed in their memory through the month on November.

If you cannot join us in person, please know that you can hear the names read within the livestreamed liturgies on Facebook live @HRCatholicChurch or YouTube.com at Holy Rosary Catholic Church EVV.

We pray with our parish families who have lost loved ones this year.

Stewardship Food for Thought Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Weekend of October 16/17, 2021

In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches his disciples that whoever wishes to be great among them must be a servant, just as he came to be a servant. Good stewards know that their “greatness” is found in God, and is affirmed by a serving heart, a Spirit-filled life, a humble walk and a commitment to acting in ways that glorify God. The “greatness” we feel about ourselves is rooted in a proper view of God in our lives and a proper view of our place in creation. It is from here that we derive our sense of identity and our belief that human life is particularly valuable. Not to be a servant of the Gospel and others would be poor stewardship. In what ways do we serve the Gospel in our daily lives?
