Holy Rosary Catholic Church

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we wish to invite you to learn more about our family in faith: a Church filled with beauty, prayer, sacraments, holiness, service and a loving community!

Whether you are on a journey into the Catholic Church or returning to the Catholic Church, you have come to a good place.

We urge those new to the area to REGISTER at Holy Rosary Parish. Registration ensures that we know you are here and helps us understand your needs and gifts. Most importantly, it helps us to welcome you to the parish. Office hours are limited due to covid restrictions, but if you would like to call ahead to let us know you are coming, we would love to meet you. Our phone number is 206-935-8353.

Delta Variant & Masking for Indoor Public Masses

The Delta variant, which is a highly transmissible variant, is now widespread across the United States and has quadrupled the case count this month alone. Reports acknowledge that even people who have been vaccinated may still transmit the virus and be infected by this Delta variant. Because of this, the CDC, Washington State and King County have all updated their masking guidance, now recommending that everyone wear masks in indoor public spaces – even if they’ve been vaccinated.

Due to the risks of the Delta variant and our desire to protect our children and the vulnerable in our communities, we ask that mask wearing resume for everyone during indoor Mass celebrations. 

Given the rise in cases, remember:  

• Wear a mask
• Do not come to Mass if you are feeling ill
• Do not come if you have a temperature
• Wash your hands frequently
• Avoid “close contact” with people outside your family, which is 15 minutes of direct, unmasked, face-to-face contact

Thank you for continuing to help us make Holy Rosary Church a safe place for public Mass.

We will continue to have two different seating areas in the church: socially-distanced seating and non socially-distanced seating.  Parishioners are free to seat themselves in either section.  If the socially-distanced seating area is chosen, please remember to leave 6 feet of space between each party.  Also, both the east and south entrances are open before and after Mass. 

The Archbishop has continued the general dispensation from the Sunday obligation, but if you are healthy, we encourage you to attend Mass.

MINISTERS AND THEIR HOUSEHOLDS: Please contine utilizing the  MSP Program. This includes EMHCs, Lectors/Sacristans, A/V Techs, and Hospitality Ministers. 

All Masses are livestreamed! If you are unable to join us in person, please join us virtually! 

• You do not need a Vimeo or Facebook account to view the livestream, but you may need to adjust your pop-up ads setting. If you do not see the livestream immediately, scroll down the page and/or click on the "Videos" link.

• If you are viewing on a phone or a tablet, you may need to download the Vimeo or Facebook app rather than viewing on your device's web browser. We recommend viewing it on a computer if possible.

• To access the readings used for Mass, you can find them at US Bishops website or through a free online version of the Magnificat, which has other prayers and reflections as well.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
