Many of our parishioners and members of our parish ministries use the meeting rooms at Our Lady of the Rosary to host meetings and events. At times it is very difficult to schedule a meeting within our dynamic parish. We will make an attempt to accommodate parishioner requests. Ministry leaders should schedule all events in our F1 software. If you do not have access to F1 and believe you should, please contact the parish office.

Those wishing to honor a loved one during the celebration of Mass may pick up Mass cards in the parish office. Mass cards are available for the living and deceased and provide opportunities for prayerful remembrance of anniversaries, birthdays, and other special intentions. Due to the overwheleming number of requests, Masses are booked on the first of the month for the following quarter (see below).

Only one person may request a Mass per date/time. Parishioners can request two Masses each month for up to three (3) people with the same last name.  Unscheduled Masses can also be requested such as priests concelebrating or offering a private mass on their day off.  These intentions will not be published or announced but will be offered. We ask for a donation of $15.00 to be given at the time of the Mass requests.  For more information about scheduling a Mass Intention, please contact the parish secretary.

The Church understands and helps walk families through every step of the way. The first step is to contact Kathy DeSanto via email or phone at 813-536-0988 and notify her of the death. You can request a Funeral Mass based on the family's wishes. Whatever funeral home you choose will handle the details for a Wake service and for burial at area cemeteries.

The parish allows as many guests to attend the Baptism ceremony as you would like. Each family will sit together.

If one of the parents is a practicing Catholic, as long as the other parent is in agreement, the child can be Baptized Catholic. It is necessary that both of the parents and the godparents understand the responsibilty that is required that the child being baptized be brought up in the richness of the Catholic tradition.

Yes. You must be a registered and active members of the parish. The Sacrament of Baptism is a celebration within your Catholic community where you worship. This means you should celebrate the important Sacrament with your home parish.

If both parents have attended the Baptismal preparation class within four (4) years, we would welcome their participation but do not require that they attend the Sacramental preparation again.

Godparents play an important role in the spiritual life of a child. They are charged with serving as an example to their godchild of Christian living. In today's world, the role is often honorary but should never be regarded as completely so. As a result, parents should be careful to select people who will be good role models for their children. Click Here to Learn More
