Mission Statement
St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, as members of the Body of Christ, shares the love of God with all by living the Gospel of Jesus. Guided by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by the Sacraments, we strive to deepen our faith through service, education, and outreach to those in need.
The demand for services provided by the Diocese and implemented at the parish and community level increases every year. As we begin the 2019 Diocesan Annual Campaign, previously known as the Bishop’s Annual Lenten Appeal, we are reminded to accept the call that Jesus gives us to be good stewards of the gifts we have received. With our combined resources and in partnership with your local parish, we are able to provide food for hungry families, formation education for seminarians, and sacramental preparation for our youth, newly engaged couples and those adults preparing to enter the church, just to name a few of the many ministries supported by the Diocesan Annual Campaign. Inspired by the call of the Gospel to be firm in our faith and lead lives dedicated to being disciples of the Lord, we are encouraged by our theme for 2019 of “Faith Forward.”

WHAT – WILD GOOSE BIBLE STUDY
WHEN – STARTS SEPT. 19, 6:30 PM

We need to make ourselves available to God’s Spirit if we are going to be able to more fully experience His loving presence. The Spirit will lead you to a place of mercy, healing, peace, and presence.
The Wild Goose series will help you experience a deeper relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit, and as you come to experience God’s presence and power. This is a 14 week study. Please bring a notebook or journal. Each lesson is independent, therefore, you can attend as your schedule allows.
Contact Jenn Riley at 717-793-8964 or 887-7462 if you wish to attend or with questions.
