A Letter from our Pastor

"My Church is composed of people like me.  I help make it what it is.  It will be friendly, if I am.  Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them,.  It will do great work, if I work.  It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.  It will bring other people into its worshiop and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.  It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church with a noble spirit, if I, who make it, am filled with these same things.  Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my church to be.

Welcome.  As we begin the Year of Faith, I ask my people of God, both those who are living here in our parish and those who are now living around the world, to reflect with us and help us to rebuild the Spiritual Church and the material Church.

Thank you for taking the time today to visit our website.  It is our hope that the resources available here will be helpful to you.

Stewardship is a high priority in our parish.  "Stewardship: A Disciple's Response", reinforces our commitment to work towards educating and assisting our parish, and all individuals, in adopting this way of life.  It begins with a conversion of heart and mind.

Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving you as Pastor here at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church.  We have had many visitors to our Church in Thorold and many have come to me and said "thank you" for the upkeep of the Church.

We graciously appeal to each of you to carefully reflect and consider supporting the Church the best way that you can. As you can see, you have been very generous in the past but we still need your help to keep up the church.

I thank you all in advance.
Your Pastor,
Fr. Mathew Pendanathu

God Bless you!
