St. Rose of Lima

Saint Rose is entering stage two opening. Every other pew is roped off. All faithful are still dispensed from Sunday obligation and attendance is voluntary until further notice. If you do attend. please practice social distancing, please wear a face mask, if you do not have a face mask they are available for you in the back of the church. For those that are uncomfortable coming to mass, Father Casey will have the Sacred Host available for people to come into the church and receive at the Altar or he will bring it to your vehicle in the parking lot following each of the mass times. He estimates Mass to last about 35 minutes to start during this phase one. So if you wish to receive communion please arrive to the church around 5:35pm on Saturdays and 8:35 am or 10:35am on Sundays. If you do the drive in communion park in the parking lot and he will check the parking lot and bring communion to your car. If you wish to receive in the church you will have to judge if mass has been let out and then come into the church and he will distribute communion to you at the Altar. The altar servers, communion ministers, and ushers will be suspended for the summer. We will rely on volunteer lectors for masses. Lectors are asked to leave their mask on while reading. There will be no shaking hands at sign of peace. There will be no collection taken at the pews but a basket will be in the front of the church. We will walk up to communion in a single line not side by side and practice social distancing of the recommended 6 feet. We also know many of us have not seen each other for a long time but it is very important to social distance so please no visiting before or after church. When you leave you will take your own bulletin and exit the church immediately. Please remember this is phase one and if we stick together and pray we will all get through this together. God Bless you All.

Your Faith, Your Vote Resources
The November 2020 election is approaching and with it questions arise.

• How do I apply my faith to voting?
• What issues are imporant to the Catholic Church?
• How do I find out where my candidtates stand on the issues?
• What can Catholic parishes and schools do and not do when it comes to elections?

We were not able to give online giving a proper launch due to the cancellation of masses and gatherings. However, online giving is live and is needed now more than ever. We may not be able to celebrate together, but our church still needs to keep the lights on.
If you are able to give please click HERE.

We would like to welcome you to our parish in Hillsboro, North Dakota. Also, we share resources with the nearby parish of St. William of Norwich in Argusville.  We are associated with the Catholic Diocese of Fargo, and are part of the Hillsboro Faith Community.
