Automatic External Defibrillator

We have an AED, which is located on the wall at the top of the Babcock Lobby Stairs; across from the bathroom. When anyone calls 911 for an emergency at Holy Rosary, the dispatcher will ask you to get the AED and bring it to the person who is in distress. If the person is unresponsive and pulseless, someone should start basic chest compressions, while others call 911 and get the AED. When the AED is opened, verbal instructions will be given on its operations.

What is this Jubilee Year of Mercy?

If there’s one word we have come to identify with Pope Francis, it’s the word “mercy.” It’s a compelling, consoling, generous word. We have seen the Holy

Father applying this word as he washes the feet of prisoners and embraces the disfigured. Last month Pope Francis opened the Jubilee Year of Mercy. What’s a jubilee year, and how does it impact those of us in the pews in Peoria or San Diego, Perth or Vancouver? Jubilee years have been around since 1300, and usually occur every 25 to 50 years. Like all things Catholic, they’re steeped in history. There’s even a Holy Door at the Basilica of St. Peter’s which is opened by the pontiff to begin the jubilee year. But we know that with Pope Francis, the jubilee will take on meaning far beyond mere historical formalities. Hopefully, it will deeply affect our own spiritual lives. In proclaiming the Jubilee Year of Mercy, the Holy Father cited the Gospel of Saint Matthew on the subject of forgiveness. When Peter asks Jesus if he must forgive someone as much as seven times, Jesus replied that we are to forgive not seven times, but instead, seventy-seven times (18:21-22). “This is a profound teaching,” said Pope Francis. “Jesus affirms that mercy is not only an action of the Father, it becomes a criterion for ascertaining who his true children are.” The year of mercy began on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council, an event about which Pope Francis said, “The walls which too long had made the Church a kind of fortress were torn down.” Francis clearly wants walls between people to come down; he wants doors other than ceremonial ones opened.

Children at MassA number of our parishioners have asked that mention be made of babies and little children who, by just being babies and little children, can make quite a bit of noise during Mass, making it difficult for others to focus on their participation in the Liturgy. First and foremost, ALL ARE WELCOME from their first day to their last at our Parish. We are truly blest to have so many young families in our parish attend Mass and, as the good Lord said, "Let the children come unto me," so do we, with gratitude for the sacred gift of life that they are! It would be helpful, however, for parents to take an upset or loudly crying child to the entryway for a time if necessary, or address the need as best as they can, and as soon as they can as well. Life happens and "Holy order" is rarely neat and orderly, but instead a sharing in the Body of Christ as who we are and all we hope to be. Thank you very much for your prayerful consideration of this request.

New to our Parish?If you are new to our parish, we would like to welcome you into our community. Please pick up a registration form (either on the entryway table, or by calling the office 587-4581) and let us know who you are.

Sick and or HomeboundDo you know of someone who is sick and in the hospital or homebound who would like to receive communion once a week? If so, please call the office 587-4581 and we will arrange for one of our many wonderful people to come and visit and bring communion.

Dear Holy Rosary Parishioners: How do we possibly thank you enough for the joy you brought to the residents of Mountain View Healthcare Community this Christmas season. Celebrating the holidays in a long term care setting can sometimes be difficult. However, with all of your generosity we celebrated in grand style. Every resident received beautifully wrapped gifts that made each one feel special and cared for. Family members expressed their gratitude as well and were also overwhelmed by the generosity. And thank you to Nadine and the staff and volunteers that put together the Angel Trees, deliver the gifts and make all of the magic happen!Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for thinking of us during the holidays, and ensuring each one of our residents had a special, warm and loving Christmas.Warmly,The Residents, their families and the staff of Mountain View Healthcare Community.

Holy Rosary Parish Stewardship News

A Stewardship Prayer

Gracious and Loving God,The old year has passed and a new year begun.

We thank you for Your active presence in our busy lives, for the opportunities given, and for blessings received.

As we embrace a new year, breathe freely through us

and renew our spirits with fresh resolve and purpose.

Give us the grace to be good stewards of all that You have entrusted to us

and to serve You with generous, compassionate

and loving hearts.

Bless our days ahead. Give us the courage to be faithful.

And show us how to proclaim the Good News of Your Son, Jesus Christ

who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God

forever and ever.Amen.

Steward in the New Year:Making Commitments to the Lord

Stewardship is a commitment of mind and heart to the Lord; a way of life that needs constant renewal and transformation. This time of year has always been one of looking forward to a new year, reflecting on the changes we need to make in our lives and resolving to follow through on those changes. Perhaps those who seek to make resolutions to be better stewards might find inspiration in one or more of the following examples:

Stewardship of Prayer: Resolve to strengthen your relationship with the Lord through prayer. Notice how often you pray and what hinders you from praying. If you are a beginner, commit to short, daily prayer times.

Stewardship of Family: Resolve to set aside more time to stay connected with your family. Eat dinner

together, schedule regular dates with your spouse, plan family outings, and go to Mass together. Practice patience and forgiveness.

Stewardship of Health: Resolve to get those medical and dental checkups. Adopt healthier eating habits. Add exercise and other physical activity to your daily routine.

Stewardship of Possessions: Resolve to possess a little more “lightly” this year. Consider ways you can reduce the amount of all that stuff you own. Distinguish between those items that are necessary and those that are considered luxurious and unnecessary.

Stewardship of the Parish Family: Resolve to serve your faith community in some way this year such as at liturgy, in the parish’s outreach or education and formation efforts. Is it time to enhance your generosity to the parish?

Stewardship of Money: Resolve to render sacred your annual budget. Reprioritize your financial goals to ensure that the Lord comes first in your spending. Take positive steps to improve your financial health.

Stewardship of Work: Resolve to be faithful to your daily, work-related tasks and offer them up to the Lord. Cultivate your skills. Deepen your knowledge. Be mindful of how you are building the Kingdom of God.

Stewardship of Mind: Resolve to keep your mind active. Commit to being more informed on the issues of the day. Read your Bible. In this presidential election year in the United States, become even more familiar with Catholic social teaching.

Stewardship of Neighbor: Resolve to be a person of hospitality and mercy. Make time and space for others who enter your life. Be more aware of those times when a neighbor, co-worker, fellow parishioner or stranger, needs a moment of kindness, a little attention or an affirming gesture on your part.

Stewardship of the Poor: Resolve to live with more compassion and in solidarity with those less fortunate. Remember the poor in prayer, and commit to helping relieve in some way the plight of those who are impoverished or marginalized.
