Saint Rose of Lima Church

ANNOUNCEMENTS
November 23, 2025

1.  Advent begins next weekend. During Advent, the Precious Blood will be offered at Mass. When approaching the chalice, please do so with reverence and gratitude. A simple bow of the head before the Precious Blood, responding “Amen” when receiving the chalice, and taking a small sip are the proper and fitting gestures of respect.
   
   
2. The Giving Tree will be at the back of the church for the Women’s Care Center until December 21^st. Please choose an ornament from the tree and purchase the item listed on the back. Place your unwrapped gift beneath the tree.  Your generosity will help provide for the needs of precious little ones.
3. One of our parishioners who participated in the Adult Study – A Biblical Walk Through the Mass was so deeply moved by how clearly the book reveals the Scriptural roots of every part of the Mass that she generously purchased 75 copies to share with our parish family. These books are available for anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the beauty and mystery of the Mass.  Please feel free to take one home and be inspired – copies are available at the church entrances.
   
   
4. The parish office will be closed on Thursday and Friday. The staff wishes you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Mass on Thanksgiving Day will be at 8:30 am.
5. 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.
