  • Where do my children go?

    Holy Rosary is family friendly. We welcome your entire family to be at Mass. We love children and families. They are all beautiful gifts from God. So, we invite families to sit together anywhere in the church.

  • I'm not Catholic... How do I know when to sit, stand & kneel?

    There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. These are extremely significant to us as we worship together. Thus, there are times when we stand, sit and kneel. If you're not Catholic, first, welcome to our parish's worship service! We encourage you to simply follow what everyone else is doing, and soon you'll shed any feelings of discomfort.

  • I'm not Catholic... Is it okay for me to participate in Communion?

    Holy Communion, or The Eucharist, also referred to as the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is substantially the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ, transformed from bread and wine by the priest presiding over the service. 


    Many other people of faith think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. 


    So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion, but to remain in your pew and make a spiritual communion with God. 


    Those Catholics who are properly disposed (in a state of grace, conscious of no mortal sins on their souls) may present themselves to receive Holy Communion.


    Those who are not in full communion and/or not properly disposed to receive the Eucharist at Mass may nonetheless come forward to receive a blessing from the priest or deacon distributing Holy Communion, demonstrating this by crossing one's arms on one's chest.

  • I'm interested in becoming Catholic... What should I do?

    OCIA(Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a program of instruction, prayer and ritual celebrations for persons interested in the Catholic Church. The program is designed primarily for unbaptized persons and baptized non-Catholics; however, adult Catholics who have not yet receivedFirst CommunionorConfirmationare also welcome.
