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.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico began an international tour with a Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe as part of the preparation for the 500th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The goal is that the Pilgrim Mother visit every diocese in the United States before 2031. The Pilgrim Mother will be in our Diocese through Sept. 11. She will be in the following parishes for prayer, veneration, and as an opportunity to encounter Christ and deepen our relationship with him though her.
