Are you a man dedicated to forming yourself in the Faith and growing in virtue? Are you seeking to make a life of virtue the very heart of who you are? Do you look to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an example of what your heart strives for? The Knights of Columbus is launching its Order-wide Cor Initiative to aid men in accomplishing this goal.
Cor, which is the Latin root word for heart, is the name chosen for this initiative to form men. It has been chosen because the goal of Cor is that men will take the formation offered and make it the very heart of who they are. Cor involves a monthly gathering of approximately an hour that is open to all men and focuses on prayer, formation, and fraternity. Prayer can consist of a Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Lectio Divina, or many other options. Formation can consist of any material that focuses on helping men become better Catholic men, such as “Into the Breach” or books on St. Joseph. Fraternity can focus on spending time building relationships with the other men participating and getting to know them better through conversation, games, or other fun activities. The world is in need of well-formed men and Cor is here to provide such formation.
At Holy Rosary, the Knights of Columbus are coordinating this initiative and meet on the 4th Monday of each month at 7pm in the Fireplace Room of Aquinas Hall. All men are invited. Join the Flocknote group for updates!
Please join us in celebrating the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, OP, on Tuesday, April 29th with a special Mass at 5:30 PM followed by an Italian-themed spaghetti dinner with fellow parishioners in Siena Hall! RSVP by April 22 on Flocknote here.

We cordially invite you to join us for the 13th annual Sacred Liturgy Conference hosted by the Dominican Friars of the Western Province in the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon.
This year, the conference will take place at Holy Rosary Dominican Parish from June 24-27, 2025, with the theme: “Manna from Heaven: The Bread of Life in the Eucharist.” Together, we will immerse ourselves in the divine mystery of the Eucharist, contemplating its profound significance and transformative power within our Catholic faith. Join us for fellowship, insightful discussions, and spiritual enrichment!
Have you ever wondered what “the Bread of Life” truly means? What is the connection between the Manna in the wilderness, provided by God for His people, and the Eucharist? Why is the Eucharist referred to as the Bread of Life and the food of Angels? How can we, as humans, partake in the food of Angels? And what about transubstantiation—do we fully understand its significance? These questions and more will be explored and answered by biblical scholars and theologians at our upcoming conference June 24-27, 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity—register today!

As part of the Jubilee Year 2025, the faithful have numerous opportunities to obtain indulgences for either themselves or the souls in Purgatory. One such way, according to the Apostolic Penitentiary for the Jubilee Year, is for "The Faithful, following the example and mandate of Christ, are encouraged to carry out works of charity or mercy more frequently, especially in service of those brothers and sisters who are burdened by various needs. More especially, the faithful should rediscover these corporal works of mercy to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead."
On the Sundays of March 9th and 16th, the Holy Rosary St. Vincent de Paul Conference and the Parish St. Martin de Porres food pantry will be hosting a parish wide food drive. The faithful can bring unexpired and unopened non-perishable items to the food pantry (located in Siena Hall) and obtain a Plenary Indulgence by practicing the corporal work of mercy of feeding the hungry.
Vincentians will be at the food pantry following all Sunday Masses (including the Saturday Vigil) to accept your donations. The food we collect is provided to both parishioners and those people who live within our parish boundaries who are in need of food assistance.
As a reminder, a plenary indulgence is the remission of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, offered by the Church through the merits of Jesus Christ. The faithful can gain this plenary indulgence under certain prescribed conditions. In order to gain this indulgence, in addition to participating in the food drive, the faithful must:
-Have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial,
-Have sacramentally confessed their sins 20 days before or after receiving the indulgence,
-Receive the Holy Eucharist,
-Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.
