To know, love and serve
God and neighbor.

Dear St. Rose of Lima Parish Family,
Thank you for the privilege to serve you and grow in faith with you. It is an honor to now be installed officially as your pastor, a responsibility that I receive with great gravity and also much joy. This year I look forward in a particular way to listening to you and dialoging with you about how we can all grow in our faith—that is, to get to know Jesus better and to share His love with others in our own modern-day circumstances. My hope is that we can be people who live the Gospel and be a light and a help to each other and our neighborhood as we labor for the kingdom of heaven here on earth.
With that, I invite you to review my annual Stewarship Report. In it, you will find information covering where we have been—in regard to discipleship, as well as finances—and where we would like to go.
I am grateful to be here with you and accompany you in this life of faith at this time in our lives here at St. Rose Parish and School. May God, who has begun a good work in us, bring it to fulfillment.
St. Rose of Lima, pray for us!
With loving respect,
Fr. Matt Libra, Pastor
