Many Blessings to DANA SOLAN on her 40th year of service to the Faith Community of OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY CHURCH! Anyone calling the Church Office hears the calm, steady, professional, melodious greeting: “Good morning (afternoon), Our Lady of the Rosary”.
Throughout the past FORTY YEARS, DANA has managed events and celebrations including Mass listings, Wedding, Baptism, and Funeral schedules, listened to parishioners' problems, offered comforting words to those in need, and generally been the “go to” person for 900 families and 5 Pastors.
Many friendships have developed over the years due to DANA's friendly warm nature and willingness to assist others whenever the need arises.
CONGRATULATIONS, DANA! We LOVE You!

"For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you always..." Ephesians 1:16

"He said to them, 'Come, and you will see.' In today's gospel, Jesus invites us into His space. Discipleship does not happen from afar. Relationship with Jesus, as with others, often begins from afar, but Jesus acknowledges even anticipates our curiosity and draws us in.
In today's first reading, Samuel, who is unfamiliar with the LORD, hears a voice calling to him in his sleep. Perhaps this is how Jesus reaches out to you with quiet and persistent subtlety.
In the gospel, Jesus looks directly at the disciples and invites them to follow Him. Maybe Jesus has been this blatant in His call to you. Regardless of how He reaches out to you, your life of inner joy begins when you respond to Jesus' invitation to come and see. Your life will not be perfect, but He will be your strength during the good times and the difficult ones.

Word Search Puzzle
Every story in the Bible helps us to get to know what God is like, what we are like, and the way God wants us to live.
Reading the Bible each day should not be a chore we dread doing. Nor should it be something we do just to mark it off of our To Do List. The Bible is God's Word. It is alive and active. Since the Bible comes directly from God, it is completely sufficient for all aspects of life in godliness.
The primary purpose of reading the Bible is not to know the Bible but to know God. God has so many things that He wants to tell us, but our Bibles are closed. As believers we should be reading the Bible every day. God speaks most clearly to us through His Word. It might be hard to do at first, but the more you do it, the more you will enjoy reading the stories and learning how much God loves us! We read the Bible so we can hear from Him and so that we can learn to live according to His law.
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
