What should I wear?

 The Holy Mass is the highest form of prayer and the sacred encounter with Christ truly present in the Eucharist. Our attire should reflect the reverence and dignity of this divine mystery. We are encouraged to dress modestly and respectfully, in a way that honors the Lord and expresses our interior devotion. In doing so, we help foster an atmosphere of prayer and respect for all who gather to worship.

At the same time, all are welcome to join us in prayer. Whether you are visiting, returning to the faith, or attending for the first time, please know that your presence is a blessing to our parish family.

I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to receive Holy Communion?

We warmly welcome everyone who joins us for the celebration of the Eucharist. Catholics believe that in Holy Communion, the bread and wine truly become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ — His Real Presence among us. Because of this sacred mystery, only Catholics who are properly disposed — that is, those who are in full communion with the Church and free from serious sin — are invited to receive Holy Communion.

Those who are not receiving Communion are encouraged to come forward with arms crossed over the chest to receive a blessing from the priest, as a sign of our shared faith in Christ and our prayer for unity among all believers.

I have a hearing problem, is there any special assistance?

At Holy Rosary, for those who need Personal Hearing Aid Devices to use during the liturgy, there are 4 sets hanging on the coat hooks on the wall, by the east-side front entrance. The earbuds are included with the transmitter. Please return them after you're done using them.
