Ministerio Hispano
Holy Rosary Catholic Church es una comunidad de fe de discípulos de Jesucristo. Guiados por el Espíritu Santo, buscamos conocer, amar y servir a Dios en nuestro viaje peregrino al reino de los cielos. Como discípulos de Jesucristo, aceptamos estas obligaciones:
- Aprender acerca de la verdad de Dios, compartir el don de ese mensaje, de nuestras tradicines con nuestros hijos y nuestra comunidad en general.
- Agradecer constantemente a Dios en oración y adoración.
- Demostrar nuestro amor a Dios por nuestro amor al prójimo, especialmente al pobre, al enfermo, al extraño.
- Ser buenos servidores y usar los extraordinarios dones de Dios para cumplir nuestras responsabilidades.
Ministries
The liturgy is about the action of God's own people, each with different offices and roles, each office and role...one of service, not of privilege, a mirror of Christ who washed the feet of His disciples and instructed His followers to imitate His example of service. Are you willing to serve during our Masses?
Faith Formation
Join us in participating in actions, experiences and relationships that nurture a transformative relationship of trust with God. The Church's catechetical mission aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel.
Sacraments
In the seven Sacraments, we celebrate through ritual and symbol the Lord’s special presence in individual lives.
The Sacramental life of the Church is an integral part of our Catholic faith.
Programs
We offer a variety of opportunities for fellowship, study, faith formation, family activities and much more.
