Fr. Don Larmore celebrated his 50 year jubilee this week at the Chrism Mass in North Platte.  He had earlier been a main speaker at Going Bananas for Jesus and just finished a two night parish mission at Holy Rosary.  He is seen here at a reception held in his honor following the second night of the parish mission.

The Kindergarten through fifth grades of Holy Rosary's faith formation program learned about the Helping Hands Project that our parish will be participating in during Lent.  Families are encouraged to sign up to help with this project which will take place on Saturday, March 9th at the parish center gym from 10:00am-2:00pm.  The project consists of working side-by-side packaging family-sized meals for people in the West African country of Burkina Faso.

The students worked with enthusiasm on their Helping Hands posters in class.  These posters will be used to decorate the packaging area and the pictures of the students with their posters will be sent with the food to let the people of Burkina Faso know that we care.

For more information about this truly life-giving project, please contact the project chair - Dona Essay.

A big shout out go out to Jerry and Leona Reynolds for being chosen as the first Alliance Unsung Heroes.  The honor was presented to them at the kick off celebration of Alliance's 125th year of establishment.  Jerry and Leona are wonderful stewards of their time and talents.  The two have given countless hours to many community organizations, such as the Box Butte General Hospital's gift shop and others.  They are frequent cookie and treat providers to the area nursing homes and are always willing to give to a good cause.  Leona always bakes cookies for the Valentine boxes that are sent to last year's seniors who are members of Holy Rosary.  Jerry is always willing to visit about his hobby of coin collecting and enjoys giving advice to young people about what coins to invest in.

Congratulations to two very deserving stewards of their time, talent and treasures, Jerry and Leona Reynolds!

Alliance's Holy Rosary celebrated First Reconciliation and communal Reconciliation on Sunday, Dec. 16th at a 3:00pm service.  Pictured are the second grade students who celebrated their First Reconciliation.

Holy Rosary's seventh grade faith formation class is shown busily working on hand made ornaments to be put on a tree that they will present to the Sister's of St. Francis before Christmas.  The class decided that they wanted to do a service project for a group and chose the Sisters.  Each student drew and decorated several ornaments as they talked about sharing their talents and giving during a recent faith formation class.

Holy Rosary's high school youth group were good stewards of their time and talents as they wrapped 25 boxes in Christmas paper to be used for the Christmas baskets that will be filled with donated food from the parish community and St. Agnes students and then given to needy families to help brighten their spirits this Christmas season.  Ralph Yeager, Holy Rosary's Youth Minister, spearheaded the wrapping project and the students tackled the task with gusto.  Several students asked about the details of the project and were genuinely happy to be helping others.

Attached is the Time, Talent, and Treasure survey for Holy Rosary Parish.  We ask that you take some time to read and pray over the number of opportunities that are available to you to give back to the parish.  Please print out the survey, fill it out, and return it to the parish center office as soon as possible.
