Family Mass - Opportunities to be involved and Activities 2022 - 2023
We hope to resume our Family Mass activities again this September 2022. St. Rose of Lima celebrates its Family Mass each Sunday. The Family Mass Committee aims to provide our Family Mass with an environment where faith can be shared, developed, and renewed for all family members. Through our efforts, we hope to develop a true sense of community here in our parish.
Ways to Participate – An important part of attending Mass on a weekly basis is your active participation. If children are interested in exploring different ways that they can participate in the Mass, please consider these roles available at the St. Rose of Lima Family Mass:
* Petition Reader – Younger school aged children are able to read petitions as part of the Prayer of the Faithful. Please see one of the Family Liturgy members handing out the Song Sheets before Mass for more information.
Here is a list of activities centered around the Family Mass. Look for details in the parish bulletin as each event approaches and “Like” us on Facebook to receive periodic updates (search for St. Rose Family Mass to find our Facebook page). At all Family Liturgy Hospitalities, we will have a share table so families can bring a baked item or a snack treat to share with their fellow parishioners.
