PARISH LIFE The Parish Life Committee is responsible for fostering community among all parishioners. They also work with the Education and Formation Committee as needed in the RCIA process. It is through the Parish Life Committee that we attempt to minister to the alienated and unchurched. Some of the ways the Parish Life Committee accomplishes their job is through visits with new parishioners, arranging visits with the sick and homebound within the parish and through various social events throughout the year. Join us for Mardi Gras, Seder supper, Fish Fries, Coffee and Donuts, etc. Upcoming events hosted by the Parish Life Committee are frequently listed in the Bulletin. For more specific information about some of the work of this Committee contact Jimmy Rohr or Rose Mary Peterson through the church office at 893-1843 or churchdesk@saintrose.org
