Please Join Us for Our Dominican Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary! 🌹

As part of our celebration, there will be a blessing and distribution of roses at all Sunday Masses. Roses are a beautiful symbol of our love and devotion to Our Lady and remind us of the spiritual roses offered through the prayers of the Rosary.

We also invite parishioners of all ages, both adults and children, to remain after the 9:00 a.m. Mass to pray the Rosary together in the church. This is a wonderful opportunity for families of our parish community to unite in prayer and honor our Blessed Mother.
