Church Air Conditioning
Now that the weather is starting to get warm again we have
to be aware of any door that is left open. We are blessed to
worship in an air-conditioned church. As you know
electricity, like all energy is very expensive, so if you notice
a church door open, please close it and help us conserve
energy and money. None of our outside doors should ever
be left in the open position.

From the Pastor:
The St. Rose of Lima Youth Ministry Golf Tournament
St. Rose of Lima Parish has always been privileged to serve
children and young adults from all of the 1500 households in
the parish community. Having our own professional, well
trained, pastoral staff is a very expensive venture but well worth
both the effort and the cost. In order to maintain the level of
care, service and Catholic formation, we began a Youth Ministry
Golf Tournament that provides funding for some current
expenses as well as saving for future needs!
I am asking all parents to take an interest in this year’s Golf
Tournament, scheduled for Tuesday, October 8th. I hope
golfers will sign-up early in order to “firm up” the tournament
and welcome individuals, doubles and 25 four-some's to make
this event a great community celebration of love and sacrifice
for our children as well as children everywhere. Look for
additional information in the gathering space. ~Fr. Jim

if there is no love then there is no joy, and au-
thentic love comes from Jesus.”
~ Pope Francis

Youth Group Meetings
The Middle School and High School Youth Group is an
opportunity for pre-teens and teenagers of the parish to join
together in faith for various social, spiritual and service
programs. Anyone in grades 6-12 is encouraged to join us for
Youth Group meetings and events.
Be on the lookout this summer as we prepare for a few social
gatherings during the months of July and August.
We will also have a schedule of upcoming 2019-2020
Youth Group dates in the near future.
If you have not participated in the Youth Group before and are
interested in learning more, please email Stephen Lavoie:
With summer upon us, it is a good time to
consider good stewardship of our parish, es-
pecially when we are away on vacations. It is
during this time that many repairs are done
around our facilities, staff is preparing for
programs that will begin in the fall, teens are
on service projects and of course, our annual
Vacation Bible School is in session. Obviously, your continued
support is needed during these months of summer!
Many of you are aware that you can give online through your
checking, debit or credit card accounts. It’s a simple, hassle-free
way of giving. It also benefits St. Rose, knowing that regular
income will be available each weekend helps us to pay our bills
on time. To sign up for online giving, simply go to our website:
www.saintroseoflima.com, click on “Online Giving,” the
WeShare logo and fill in the required information. Please let us
know if you have any difficulty signing up. And thank you for
your continued support.
