Welcome to our Catholic Community
from Fr. Mark Harrington on April 8, 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.
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 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 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.
Since our inception in 2004, our parish has grown to 1525 registered families, with over fifty established ministries. Our focus is being a welcoming community. Caring for each other is the hallmark of our living faith; building strong families, reaching out to others to meet their spiritual needs, and extending support to those who are dealing with difficult situations in their lives.
I am especially proud of our support staff and volunteers. They share their many diverse talents and gifts to help us build the kingdom of God.
We invite you to join us at Mass and become part of our “Family of God”. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

Stephen Ministers' Commissioning
May 20, 2012 (11:00a)
Stephen Ministry is a system through which parishioners of St Rose are trained and organized to help provide Christian care-giving to members of our parish and community.
Having this ministry at St. Rose will multiply the amount of caring ministry we can provide by giving us a team of skilled caregivers who are equipped to bring Christ's healing love to people who are grieving, in crisis or experiencing other stresses in life.
Eight parishioners completed 50 hours of training and were commissioned as Stephen Ministers on Easter Sunday, six of these eight attended a week long training a few weeks ago to become Stephen Leaders. They will be commissioned at the 11:00a Mass on Sun, May 20.
