MARCH FOR LIFE TRIP TO DC 2020: Thursday, January 23rd-Friday, January 24th. Half of the money is due on Wednesday, November 13th. We still have spaces for youth and adults available. Please contact Franchesca Russell at (740) 343-5306 if you’re interested in going.
You will find a sign-up sheet for First Wednesday Adoration in the back of all the churches. This will begin on Wednesday, December 4. Exposition will be from 8:30 a.m. until 6:15 p.m. with Benediction. Please consider spending a half an hour or more with Jesus in Adoration. There is no better way to prepare for Christmas! We’ll need at least 2 adorers per hour in order to be able to make this happen. The St. Rose Students will be in the church for Confession from 10:45 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and again from 12:30-1:00 p.m. We’d still need adorers at that time, but just be aware. Parishioners are welcome to come to Confession at this time as well. I just ask that they allow the students to go first, so that they can get back to their next class in time.
