Take a moment to notice the beauty of the sanctuary at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. The banners that enhance the altar, the vestments worn by priests, and even the candles, altar wine, and hosts that are part of each Mass all contribute to a reverent worship experience. What many may not realize is that these essential items are not funded through the parish’s general operating budget.
They are lovingly provided by the St. Rose of Lima Altar Guild, whose quiet dedication plays an integral role in parish life. Through their faithful service, the Altar Guild ensures that each liturgy is celebrated with care, dignity, and beauty. Now, the community is invited to support them in return.
The Altar Guild’s annual fundraiser, Chocoholic Feast & Games Night, will take place on Friday, Feb. 13, from 7-10 p.m., in the East and West Halls at St. Rose of Lima. This festive evening will feature games, a light dinner, decadent desserts, and a Silent Auction—all centered around this year’s joyful theme: “All Hearts Come Home for Chocolate!”
Tickets are $15 per person in advance and $20 at the door, and include all-you-can-eat food, entertainment, and activities throughout the evening. Guests may reserve a table or purchase individual tickets through the parish website or at the parish office.
All are welcome—bring a friend, bring your sweetheart, bring your sweet tooth—and join in an evening of fun and fellowship. All hearts come home for chocolate, and the St. Rose of Lima Altar Guild hopes yours will, too.
