We remember our former pastor, Rev. Joseph T. Scanlin who passed away recently. We have many fond memories of him during his eleven years in our parish. You can find complete obituary information and a very touching video recounting memorable moments in his life here.
"Eternal rest grant unto Father Joe, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
We the family of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Church, blessed by the patronage of Mary, the Mother of God, are joined together in our faith. We celebrate the very presence of God through Word and Sacrament and in a special way through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
We are joined together as a community to give service to the Lord and His people by:
… Identifying the spiritual and corporal needs of the parish and ministering to them
… Providing religious education to our youth.
… Offering educational opportunities to all our parishioners so they have an opportunity to grow in their faith
… Reaching out to inactive Catholics, other Christians, other faiths and people of no faith.
… Welcoming all Catholics to become an integral part of our family of faith
… Supporting our parish spiritually, physically, and financially so that all needs may be fulfilled.
As parishioners of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Church we will share and spread our Catholic faith with those we encounter, and demonstrate through service to church and community that we are a people of faith.
