St. John's Rosary Society is an important Catholic ministry, of which serve parish woman is a member. How active each member is, is personal choice.
The Rosary Society consists of eight circle committees, who serve the funeral dinners, and committee of volunteers who lead and recite the rosary at the funeral visitation. Members help provide food goods and monetary donations, and donate their time and talent together to serve special events and meals. In the spring, the Rosary Society hosts Lenten Luncheons for community members of various faiths. Many lives are touched by us, and at times, during the most sensitive moments of our lives; during the loss of a loved one. The Rosary Society circle committees serve funeral dinners for our parish families. Although this is a sad time, we, the committee of volunteers, enjoy a fellowship together, as we serve you, as God asks us to be servants for each other.
Annual dues are $10.00. An annual no-date bake sale is held which helps to raise money for the bills paid by the Rosary Society. The Rosary Society uses this money to pay for cleaning of the church, and for the garbage pickup each month. Money has been raised in the past which also helped to pay for the new floor in the church hall, carpet in the rectory, and carpet at the time of the church renovation.
Before COVID-19, two or three volunteers from each committee would help with Bingo at the Buchanan County Health Center Lexington Estate on the first Wednesday of each month. During this time, this opportunity has been cancelled. We will wait to hear from a Lexington Estate representative for a time when this might resume. We pray for the residents, and those who care for the residents, and the residents' families, especially during this time.
