Mary, Queen of the Rosary
Parish is a community of Catholic Christians united by a call to
live and spread the gospel of Jesus. We believe this calls us to be
a caring, comforting and welcoming community, engaged in service to
others, sharing our faith and giving thanks to God.
"You have been told, My People,
what is good, and what the Lord requires of you:
Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your
God."
Micah 6:8
