Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish was built in 1955 with the first Mass celebrated Christmas Eve of 1955.
The first Pastor was The Most Rev. O. L. Kaufman, who, with the Bishop’s approval, selected the name of our parish.
At this time, we have over 400 families registered at
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish.
Our Mass times are 5 pm Saturday and 8 and 10 am Sunday.

If you cannot make these and are willing to help, please contact Father Dan. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
WOMENS BOOK STUDY---Come join us on Wednesday, October 7th for our first look at the book we will be reading and discussing this year. The book is called "Braving the Thin Places" by Julianne Stanz, a book of Celtic Wisdom to create space for Grace. This is a great way to give yourself some time each week to reflect on your faith and share your wisdom with other women. We meet Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:30. in the overflow area of the church. We spend time breaking open the word using the Sunday Gospels and discuss one chapter of the book using reflection questions. This is a great group of women who support each other in their faith and prayer. If you would like to join the group or have any questions, please contact Theresa Romens at 712-310-4695. We want to make sure that we have enough materials ordered. All are Welcome!
