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.

Help Us Sustain The Catholic Mirror
You’ve told us you like our new diocesan magazine, The Catholic Mirror! We are happy to share award-winning columnists and stories of faith with you every other month. Moving from newsprint to a glossy magazine does come at a cost. Help us continue to send you The Catholic Mirror by making a gift – a voluntary subscription – to help us offset the cost of producing and distributing our magazine. Use the QR code or tear-out coupon in this month’s edition of the magazine or go to www.dmdiocese.org/giving and click on Diocesan Special Collections.
Catholic Daughters will play Bingo on Sept. 16th at the Bloom center. You can bring a meal to eat at 5 when they open or come at 6 when Bingo begins. All women 18 years and older are invited to attend and find out more about Catholic Daughters. For more info contact Debra Lines' Regent at 559-362-8874
VOCATIONS
Did you know we have a whopping 48 men who are considering whether God is calling them to serve people through ordained ministry? We have 13 young men studying for and discerning a vocation to the priesthood, 18 men and their wives in their third year of studying to become deacons, and another 17 men and their wives who will begin the deacon formation process this fall. With this blessing comes a tremendous responsibility to provide the resources, education, guidance, and prayer to all of these men who have come forward to discern their future. The average cost to form one seminarian is $59,500. The annual cost to support one deacon candidate is $7,600. Pray for the seminarians and deacon candidates. Then, consider making a generous gift to the Clergy Formation Appeal (formerly known as the Seminarian Appeal) to help these vocational seeds take root and bear fruit. Give at dmdiocese.org/giving and click on Clergy Formation Appeal.
A special collection will be taken up September 26/27.
