March 13, 2020

Dear CCD Parents,

Cardinal Cupich mandated the suspension, until further notice, of all liturgical services, mainly Mass. The Archdiocese also closed all schools until further notice.

Therefore, we will be canceling all CCD classes until we hear from the Archdiocese that classes can resume.

Additionally, Sacramental preparation and reception is put on hold at this time. As soon as we hear from the Archdioceses, we will pass on any new information as to the scheduling of Confirmation, Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

In the meantime, we strongly recommend viewing Sunday Mass on television, visit the Religious Education Page for activities to do at home, and continuing praying with your family.

Stay safe and healthy.

Blessings,
Clair Zaffaroni
Director of Religious Education

Praying and Giving Together amid COVID-19

Hello Holy Rosary Parish Family, 

I pray that you and your loved ones are healthy and have the resources you need amidst the current restrictions. We know these measures are designed to protect our wellbeing and that of the of our broader community and world. For many of us, particularly when we’re now told to stay home for weeks at a time, our initial reaction is to gather all we can and hunker down to weather the storm. As a Christian family of faith, this is also a time – perhaps the most important time – to consider our need for spiritual unity and the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Praying Together
Though our family of families at Holy Rosary may be physically separated from one another right now, we are blessed with several ways we can unite in prayer and devotion. I encourage you to consider any number of the following to join as a Holy Rosary family:
1. Livestream Masses: Weekend Masses from Holy Name Cathedral, Daily Masses from St. James Chapel
2. Virtual Prayer/Scripture Groups: 6:00 p.m. Daily recitation of the rosary with members of the parish,
3. Prayer in our homes throughout the day 9:00 am, 12:00 pm 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

Giving Together
Cancellation of Mass is leading to significant losses in our offertory income, which is placing all our ministries and operations at significant risk.  Many people in our parish and community depend upon your regular, weekly offertory contributions and, during this current challenge, they are needed more than ever. Please consider giving online at where you can make a weekly offertory contribution to our Holy Rosary family and keep the vital ministries and services we provide going.  We ask you to prayerfully consider maintaining your regular weekly donation level or even increasing it during these times.Please consider giving online at www.archchicago.org/offertory where you can make an offertory donation to our Holy Rosary family and keep the vital ministries and services we provide going. Please make sure to select Holy Rosary from the drop-down menu on the form. If you prefer, make an offertory donation through check, using mail. The fact that this pandemic is occurring during our Lenten journey offers each of us important reminders about the role of faith, hope and charity in our daily lives and in whom we place our trust. I believe we are being called by Jesus Christ to a renewed sense of solidarity. This is a time for unity in prayer, not for isolation; it is a time for hope, not despair; it is a time for generosity, not self-focus. “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13:35). May God grant you peace during this difficult time and may He manifest His love and presence to you in abundant ways. If you have any concerns, please contact the me at the Parish Office at 773-278-4820. Thank you for your continued support of Holy Rosary.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Tom Baldonieri, Pastor
