From the Pastor:
The St. Rose of Lima Youth Ministry Golf Tournament
St. Rose of Lima Parish has always been privileged to serve
children and young adults from all of the 1500 households in
the parish community. Having our own professional, well
trained, pastoral staff is a very expensive venture but well worth
both the effort and the cost. In order to maintain the level of
care, service and Catholic formation, we began a Youth Ministry
Golf Tournament that provides funding for some current
expenses as well as saving for future needs!
I am asking all parents to take an interest in this year’s Golf
Tournament, scheduled for Tuesday, October 8th. I hope
golfers will sign-up early in order to “firm up,” the tournament
and welcome individuals, doubles and 25 four-some's to make
this event a great community celebration of love and sacrifice
for our children as well as children everywhere. Look for
additional information in the gathering space. ~Fr. Jim
Congratulations College Graduates We will be publishing names of parishioners who have
graduated from college in 2019, along with the college they
graduated from. Please drop the information in the collection
basket or email to: [email protected] by June 28th.
Thank you for your generous participation in this year’s Lenten
Rice Bowl project. The total donations: $1,738. Catholic
Relief Services provides assistance to people in need, without
regard to race, religion or nationality. St. Rose of Lima has been
actively supporting this project for the past 9 years. Your
generosity is greatly appreciated.
Keeping in touch….. Our beloved Sr. Joan McDermott has moved to a new location,
due to the closing of her communities healthcare center in
Leominster. We are sure she would love a note or a visit as she
settles into her new residence.

Pentecost Sunday
Through the Holy Spirit we come to know the risen Jesus. The apos-
tles received Jesus’ peace and ministry of forgiving sins. Family Faith on the Go
Fun activities about Pentecost for Families: Make a ribbon mobile for your house or child’s room. Each ribbon tied on
could represent a prayer or person for whom you are praying.
Make red, yellow and orange ribbon streamers to represent flames.
One of the significant parts of the Pentecost story is that people who spoke
different languages were able to understand one another. Take that idea and learn to say “I love you” in different languages. How many
can your family learn?

occasion for rest. It’s also a favorable time to
take care of our human relationships.”
~Pope Francis
Youth Trip to
Canobie Lake, June 19!
Once again this year we are
offering, free of charge, to our
altar servers, youth readers and
band members a trip to Canobie
Lake, in gratitude for their
dedicated ministry at St. Rose
of Lima. The date is Wednesday, June 19, 8:30 AM-5:30 PM.
Bus transportation, park admission (which includes all rides &
shows) and a basic lunch voucher will be paid for by your parish
community. All other youth parishioners or friends of our youth
ministers are welcome to attend for $25.00 (the cost of food and
admission), transportation will be covered by the parish.
Forms can be downloaded from the website
www.saintroseoflima.com
or picked up in the gathering space. Please arrive at St. Rose
of Lima for Mass at 8:30 AM. We will depart by bus shortly
after Mass, arriving back at St. Rose of Lima about 5:30 PM.
With summer upon us, it is a good
time to consider good stewardship
of our parish, especially when we are
away on vacations. It is during this
time that many repairs are done
around our facilities, staff is preparing
for programs that will begin in the fall, teens are on service
projects and of course, our annual Vacation Bible School is in
session. Obviously, your continued support is needed during
these months of summer!
Many of you are aware that you can give online through your
checking, debit or credit card accounts. It’s a simple, hassle-free
way of giving. It also benefits St. Rose, knowing what regular
income will be available each weekend helps us to pay our bills
on time. To sign up for online giving, simply go to our website:
www.saintroseoflima.com, click on “Online Giving,” the
WeShare logo and fill in the required information. Please let us
know if you have any difficulty signing up. And thank you for
your continued support.
