As we reflect on this year, we’re grateful for everyone who stands with Holy Rosary Institute, a place that has always been more than a building. Since its founding, Holy Rosary has symbolized strength, faith, and a community’s determination to create opportunity through education.

Thanks to capital outlay support, restoration funding is secured. Like many nonprofit organizations, we are in need of operational support to continue bringing this vision to life. This giving season, your end-of-year gift helps restore Holy Rosary as a center for educational, economic, cultural, and spiritual growth.

With your help, we can bring Holy Rosary back to life. You can donate today by visiting our website and selecting “donate”: https://holyrosaryla.org/

🚨🚨🚨A new chapter is officially underway at Holy Rosary!! With the library deal now approved, the magnitude of what this means for the Northside and for Lafayette as a whole can't be overstated.

It's a promise being fulfilled, a foundation being rebuilt, and a future being shaped by the very community it will serve.

The momentum doesn't stop there.

Holy Rosary is rising, and the work continues.
If you believe in what's happening here, if you believe in education, in opportunity, in restoration, in the Northside's bright future, then we invite you to join us. Every gift, every share, every voice of support helps fuel the next phase. Get involved today and let's keep building together!

There's a movement happening at Holy Rosary, and it's something we can all be proud of! The Prime Time Head Start campus is now open on our historic grounds, bringing four classrooms and nearly 60 children into a space filled with history and hope. This is part of the bigger vision for Holy Rosary. With plans for the public library, a business center, a museum, retail, and green space; Rosary will once again serve the entire community in a wholistic way.

The work happening here is about more than a moment. It's about preserving our past and building the future of the Northside.

Alumni, neighbors, and friends, your presence matters. Whether it's sharing your story, volunteering your time, or simply spreading the word, we invite you to be part of this journey forward.
Together, we can honor the past and build the future. Get involved today!
