All eyes and ears were focused on the Christmas Angel and the great story of God's light coming into the world last Sunday evening at St. Rose. READ MORE!

My family has been a part of this parish for 24 years. My children received their sacraments here and participated in the YNIA program, learning to give back to those in need. Being a part of the St. Rose community and growing up in the Catholic faith has played an integral part in developing the people my children are today. St Rose has become a second home to us. When I see the young, beautiful families in the pews at the 10 AM Mass on Sunday, I hope the same for them. The Legacy of Hope Campaign can help make that happen.

God gives freely and with abundance. As good stewards, we know that our gifts and blessings are not ours alone, they were always meant to be shared. In this way, the blessed become a blessing to others and the Body of Christ can flourish. I am grateful to be a part of such a warm, welcoming, and generous community whose legacy of love will be long lasting.

For me, there are two very important reasons to support this campaign. The first is that our church is our spiritual home and an outward sign of our faith. It is a legacy that I want to be sure will stand for future generations as a place of Hope. The second is to support retiring priests who have given their lives to serve us in baptisms, marriages, last rites and everything in between. They deserve our caring support now.

The Church exists within these walls but also well beyond them. By strengthening our parish, we are able to leave a legacy for our children that they can carry with them into the wider world.

I feel my family has been blessed to be a part of the St. Rose of Lima community for the past 27 years. We have all been active members in the parish, and there have always been many activities to participate in whether educationally, spiritually or socially. I am part of this campaign, Legacy of Hope, because my hope is that we build upon what past generations have given to us so we can provide a better, stronger church for our children and grandchildren. I hope you will join me!

Believing our future and legacy must support our Catholic Faith, the Legacy of Hope Campaign provides me and my family with an avenue to insure our faith will be strong for years. In addition, participating will insure those in need today will receive the grace of God’s support for a comforting life.

For me, the Legacy of Hope provides a wonderful opportunity to support and maintain our beautiful church for the future and to reach out to many others in the Diocese who need assistance. It’s a special way to thank God for the many blessings I have received, by giving back.

I am excited about the opportunity to work on the Legacy of Hope campaign because I am proud to strengthen the future of our parish, our diocese, and our Catholic faith. The lives of my family have been made rich here at Saint Rose. That is the legacy I would like all families to enjoy, now and in the decades to come.
