Your St. Vincent de Paul Society has placed a new clothing bin in the lower parking lot. We have partnered with Thrifty Irishman who has supplied the bin on our behalf. Identification signage will put on the bin soon. Throughout the year, when you have clothes, shoes, or small household items that you would like to donate, please drop them in the bin… your support is appreciated and directly benefits our ability to continue to help our Coatesville neighbors in need. Should you have larger items you would like to donate, please email that information to Randy Seeker at [email protected].
Registration for religious education at OLR is now open. Returning families should have received an email from Parish Giving with login information on registering.

If you have any questions, please email the PREP Directors, Jackie Townsley and Paul Friel, at [email protected].

The Pastoral Council has been meeting for several months now and is proud to announce that they crafted a new Mission Statement for Our Lady of the Rosary Parish! You can find this new Mission Statement at the bottom of the website's homepage. A framed copy of the Mission Statement can also be found on the left-hand side of the door leading into Romano Hall from the main entrance. Here is the text: "We are a diverse Roman Catholic Community, driven by a desire to grow in holiness, faith, and to live out the Gospel. Through the Sacraments, and the intercession and example of our Blessed Mother, we strive in gratitude to build a relationship with Jesus and each other."
Our Grace Notes Choir did a great job leading the parish in prayerful songs on Sunday! If you know a child in 1st-8th grade who loves to sing, invite them to join us at rehearsal on every Thursdays at 7pm in the church.
Congratulation to all the students, family members and teachers of Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elementary School for been recognized as an Archdiocesan School of Distinguished Instruction in the area of Exceeding Potential.
