Share-Year-Round: Join to Double your Impact
We are deeply grateful for all Share lent donations, but monthly donations make the biggest difference. Become a Share Year-Round donor, your contribution becomes sustained and predictable and allows us to have lower administrative costs. That means more money can be more reliably invested in our partners. Between now and Pentecost, June 5, 2022, new donors and current donors who increase their donation amounts will have their donation matched through a fund supported by religious faith communities. Your $20 monthly donation will become $40.
Thanks to a group of generous supporters of this matching fund, there’s no better time to become a monthly donor! Visit devp.org/shareyearround to join the Share Year-Round program. Download our annual report to read how your donations make impact.
The Parish survey will be available till the end of day May 29th, 2022.

Angel Tree
The Angel Tree has been a tradition at St Rose of Lima church for as long as anyone can remember. It has put a gift under the tree for many children and adults on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, because of the virus, we will not be putting the tree up this year. However, we know that some people may still wish to help those in need at this time. If you would like to donate a gift card for groceries, Wal-Mart or gas you can put it in our poor box at the back of the church.
If you know anyone who may need our help, please pass on our phone number 902-476-8626
