AMERICAN MARTYRS RETREAT HOUSE
Some of you have experienced the peaceful and
spiritually refreshing atmosphere of the American Martyrs Retreat House. Every
year I try to spend a week there to recharge my spirit. The Retreat House was
built 50 years ago and has been in need of some repairs and up dating. Sister
Jeanine Kuhn PBVM, the director, has done a remarkable job of fixing up,
cleaning up, and repairing. (Mary Lou Murphy has donated several days in
helping with this.) But this all takes money. So we will use the Offertory this
weekend to generate some donation from our parishes. I would also urge everyone
to take a look at the Retreats offered and take advantage
of these opportunities.

Back in the late 40Õs Roseville got a new organ and it
has been serving us well ever since – except for the past few years.
Recently the Pastoral Council has been discussing whether or not to invest in a
new one. They would like to know the feelings of the Parishioners of St. Mary.
The quoted price is about $25,000. We do have some money in savings and could
also seek donations. In the past whenever we had a project the parishioners
came through eagerly to finance it. Express your thoughts to one of the members
of the
Pastoral Council.
********
You have probably noticed that having someone as song
leader helps the singing and hence our Mass a great deal. It would be
beneficial if we could have this luxury at every weekend Mass. If you would be
willing to lend your talents in this ministry, please visit with Dennis Staudt.
Remember ÒHe/She who sings prays twice.Ó
********
Those wishing to donate to the Flag Project in our cemetery can make a check payable
to St. Mary Roseville for $100 and put in the collection at church or mail to
David Gabel, 2151 Hwy 14, Rockford, IA
50468. The number of flags put up in the cemetery will depend on the
number of donations. Thank you to all planning to donate.
