Mother's Lifeline
Welcome to our Catholic Community
from Fr. Mark Harrington on January 1, 2012
Welcome to our Catholic Community of St. Rose and the Mission of the Good Shepherd! I am so glad that you are visiting our web site and hope you find the information you need. If you have not done so already, please come to visit us so that we may welcome you in person.
We are a Roman Catholic parish community who lives out the gospel of Jesus Christ through praying, welcoming, sharing and caring. Our Catholic Community of St. Rose and the Mission of the Good Shepherd is a friendly parish offering opportunities for spiritual growth through the celebration of Mass, religious education and participation in numerous activities to bring others and ourselves closer to Christ.
I'm very proud of the various ministries we've established in the short time since our parish was inaugurated, and for the very welcoming and caring spirit present at both St. Rose and The Mission of the Good Shepherd. Caring for each other is, we hope, the hallmark of our living faith: building strong families, reaching out to those who are experiencing tough times, and seeing how we can make a difference in our world through the works of Christian charity, mercy, and justice. I am also especially proud of our support staff and our many volunteers. Our parish would not be the warm, inviting and friendly community it is without them.
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne is located in Anthem, Arizona 11 miles north of the 101 off of I-17. We're a relatively new parish, founded in September 2004. Our mission, The Mission of the Good Shepherd, was founded in 1988 and is located about nine miles northeast of Anthem in New River.
We invite you to join us at Mass and to become part of our "Family of God." If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

Thank You Celebration for our Community’s First Responders
Jan 29, 2012 (12:30p - 4:00p)
The recent killing of Deputy Sheriff Coleman in Anthem has touched all of our hearts. We are reminded of the important and sometimes dangerous service all first responders provide for the rest of us. Several area churches, including St Rose Parish, are joining together to provide a public “thank-you” to our first responders and their families.
On Sun, Jan 29, in the main park in Anthem, there will be picnic type celebration and recognition of our first responders and their families. Everyone is invited. There will be free hotdogs, live music, kids’ games and fun for everyone. The event will run from 12:30p until 4:00p.
Each of the churches involved will be providing one aspect of this event. Our Parish will be providing food and beverages. Anyone interested in helping, please contact Heather at heather@stroseparishaz.org, 623-465-9740 ext 109. One of the things many police ask for is gift cards. Not for themselves, but to give to a homeless person or someone they come across who is doing nothing wrong, but is a terrible financial position. The officers can provide some help if they have gift cards to give the person. If anyone wants to buy one of these gift cards for the police to use, please contact Heather at heather@stroseparishaz.org, 623-465-9740 ext 109.
Please watch the bulletin and our Parish web page for more information. This event is being put together quickly and we will provide updates as we get them.
