St. Rose Confirmation News:

Rite of Enrollment - Sunday, November 19 during 8:30am Mass. All St. Rose Confirmation students (confirmands) please plan to attend. This Rite of Enrollment ceremony marks the beginning of a “journey of faith” for our confirmands who have started the sacramental formation process. It is also a sign to the larger community that all of us have a role in the formation of anyone in the parish. Likewise, it shows our confirm-ands and their families that they are part of the larger faith community. The members of the parish commu-nity provide prayer and support which is needed for the confirmands, their families, and their catechists

throughout the formation period.

Thanksgiving Play:

St. Rose 2nd graders would like to invite you to their production of “A Native American Welcome” on Tues-day, November 21st at 3:00pm in the St. Rose Parish Hall. Begin your Thanksgiving holiday with this

heartwarming play about the true meaning of Friendship.

Lost and Found:

There are a lot of different items in our lost and found at school. If you believe your child has misplaced sweatshirts, gloves, hats, etc. please encourage them to check the box in the hallway, it is overflowing.

Father Tim asked all the classes at

Mass today to list different things they

were thankful for this Thanksgiving

season. They ranged from which can-

dy bars they thank God for all the way

to which saints they are most thankful

for. The students all really enjoyed

sharing!

Thank you, thank you, St. Rose families, for your generosity in preparing 67 shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child this year! Boxes were blessed by Fr. Tim at Mass this morning. Our shoeboxes are taken to Yankton, where they will continue their journey to their recipients: special boys and girls, somewhere in the world. We pray that our shoeboxes will bring much happiness and joy to the children who receive them. Thanks, again, for your tremendous support of Operation Christmas Child, one of the many opportunities for students of St. Rose to practice charity and be of service to others. Happy Thanksgiving!
