Trunk or Treat

This is our annual “holy-ween” party for the families of Our Lady of the Rosary.  Picture the parking lot full of cars and trucks with their trunks and tail gates open, decorated with traditional and not so scary décor, filled with buckets of treats and hundreds of the little ones moving safely from vehicle to vehicle for their annual bag of candy and treats.  Volunteers plan and execute this family centered party, so if you like Halloween and children this is the place to be on the last Friday of October. All of our parish family is invited to attend and help at this party. It’s a great multigenerational event.  Contact our parish secretary to get involved.
