We have brought back our All Souls' Day Remembrance Display! We invite our Santa Rosa parishioners to bring in photos of loved ones that have passed that they would like to have remembered on All Souls' Day. (Photos should be copies and not originals.) The display will be up in the church from October 30 to November 7. More details are in the parish bulletin.
Join us Sunday, October 10 at 2:00 PM for our 7th Blessing of the Animals. We will gather in the Holy Family Garden in between the Church and the Religious Education Building in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, and in the spirit of his love for all creatures. Parishioners are invited to bring their pets to receive a blessing and give thanks for what they do for us and for what they mean to us. Friendly and well-behaved pets will be welcomed. Animals that become nervous, aggressive or are unable to attend can be represented by photos. Animals must be kept under control and suitably restrained at all times. We do ask that you please bring a bag to clean up after your pet!
The light maintenance in the church was completed sooner than we thought. Yay! So Daily Mass for September 14-16 will take place in the church and not Carr Hall as originally planned.

If you are in need of a EIM Workshop or a Renewal and don't feel comfortable doing the online process, Santa Rosa has an EIM Workshop scheduled for Saturday, August 7 and Renewal events scheduled for Thursday and Friday, August 5 & 6. See the August 1 Bulletin for details on times and how to register.
