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.
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Romans 10:17
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Our community has a dedicated group of people who seek to engage parishioners in faith formation and faith development to further develop our relationship with Christ.
Our greatest desire is to provide a solid foundation of faith to our children and youth. At St. Rose, we are pleased to have a fully developed religious education program for children from grade primary to grade nine. A new youth ministry is also under development offering young people the opportunity to engage with each other and also get involved in parish life.
please join our Religious Education Facebook group to keep up to date on class cancellations, registration, and upcoming events.

For adults, the Alpha program is our primary evangelization tool. We offer Alpha for parents during the time of children’s religious education. We also offer a program for those wanting to become Catholic or to complete their initiation into the Catholic faith: The Right of Catholic Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
"St. Rose is small enough to feel like a family, yet large enough to offer variety in faith development
and community building."
